When the St. Louis Cardinals' season ended on Saturday night, Adam Wainwright wasn't quite ready to ponder his baseball future.
"Have I thought about it? Well, everybody asks me about it," Wainwright said of retirement. "We'll see what happens. We should know pretty soon if something happens. If not, it's been a good run and thank you, St. Louis."
Wainwright's longtime teammates, Yadier Molina and Albert Pujols, have already declared their intention to retire.
"There was so much magic going on this season with Albert and Yadi, and I just thought, 'We can't go out like this,'" said Wainwright, who spent the early stages of Game 2 in the bullpen and said he was ready to pitch in Game 3 had the series gone that far.
"It was just too special, what we had going on. With our two guys here and what they were bringing to the table, I always thought we were winning it."
