Adam Wainwright took advantage of the system at a fair he attended, and nobody really seemed to know what was going on.
Wainwright shared a video on Twitter Saturday night of himself at a fair. The St. Louis Cardinals pitcher elected to play the carnival dunk tank game. In that game, contestants pay money and receive balls in exchange. The object is to throw the ball and hit a small target that controls whether a heckler gets dunked into a tank.
Considering how Wainwright has pinpoint control against MLB hitters, throwing a ball to the target was easy for him. A heckler was talking trash to Wainwright and never saw it coming.
Come on now.
Waino’s a three-time MLB All-Star and has finished top-three in NL Cy Young voting four times during his career. Did you really think he would have difficulty with the dunk tank?
That’s almost unfair, but the carnival barker deserved it!
