Adam Wainwright DID shine on Opening Day
He didn't take the mound Thursday afternoon, but Wainwright put on a performance during Opening Day festivities that few will ever forget.
In what seemed like a huge surprise to the fans and his teammates, Wainwright sang the National Anthem. If you haven't, please watch!

You could tell he was a bit nervous but he did a great job in a big moment. Considering all of the big moments Cardinals have seen from Wainwright over the seasons, this was a highlight all its own for Uncle Charlie.
