THIS IS THE GET IN THE GAME PODCAST
WITH SCOTT LINEBRINK
Last time on “Get in the Game,” Houston Astros infielder Mauricio Dubón shared about how Water Mission and St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright together made a life-changing difference in his community when they established a clean water project near his town in Honduras. Earlier this season, Dubón shared that story with Wainwright following a Cardinals-Astros game, and Wainwright was blown away.
This week, Wainwright joins the show to share his side of the story and catch up with Scott Linebrink, someone Wainwright credits for making a major difference in his own life. The 2023 season was Wainwright’s last in what has been a storied career in Major League Baseball, and the story of how he made an impact in Honduras was shared during his retirement ceremony at Busch Stadium. In response, the Cardinals and the Cardinals Care Foundation donated $100,000 to build a safe water project in Honduras near the town where Dubón is from, further investing in that community.
Linebrink was invited to be on the field with Wainwright during his ceremony and spoke with him for the podcast while there. In this episode, Wainwright reflects on his 18-year career and how his faith in God shaped what he did on and off the field.
“Get in the Game” is part of the Sports Spectrum Podcast Network.
