Brunswick's Wainwright the sole DuvALUMNI in 2013 World Series
Adam Wainwright (Glynn Academy) will start Game One of the 2013 World Series for the St. Louis Cardinals as they take on Boston. Wainwright carried over his stellar regular season (19-9) into the postseason (2-1, ERA under 2). Since Wainwright broke into the big leagues in 2005, the Cardinals have reached the post season five times, though he was out with injury for their last World Series in 2011. He was in the role of the closer in St. Louis' 2006 World Series victory over Detroit, finishing three games and allowing no runs. Wednesday night will be his first start in a World Series. Which begs the question:
Who was the last DuvALUM to start a World Series game?
Go back to 2008 when Brett Myers (Englewood) started for the Phillies against the Rays.
Before that? Unless I overlooked someone, you have to go back to 1983 when Storm Davis (University Christian) started for the Baltimore Orioles against the Phillies.
