'It's going to be weird': Yanks' Carpenter back in St. Louis
-
“I’m 100% happy for him because he was a huge, huge part of this team and he’s someone who’s going to be a red jacket guy here,” said St. Louis pitcher and friend Adam Wainwright, referring to Carpenter being a cinch to make the Cardinals Hall of Fame. “He carried our team for a couple of years almost by himself. He had some swing struggles, but he worked on it. He could have quit and ridden off into the sunset with his head held high, but he still felt like he wanted to play. He retooled himself and the guy still has that amazing ability to put the sweet spot of the bat on the ball.”
