Past injury problems[?]

Latest comment: 19 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

I've put in some general info about Wainwright, if anyone could include the details of his arm problems that he's suffered over the years and a legal pic that would be great. Darwin's Bulldog 05:44, 5 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Where can you find injury history for players? As far back as I can remember of Wainwright (which is since he was dealt to the Cardinals) he hasn't had any injury problems....It's hard to find histories for injuries in the minors. Rolen05 22:46, 18 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

- I don't recall where I read/heard of Wainwright's arm problems, but what I recall is injuries in the minor leagues postponed his eventual debut to the majors. Darwin's Bulldog 00:09, 22 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Tommy John Surgery

He's gonna have Tommy John Surgery and gonna miss the 2011 Season. He needs to be put on the 60 Day DL.

All-star game

Latest comment: 12 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Do we really need a whole paragraph on his comments at the all-star game? It seems like overkill to me. This wont really have legs as a story and more is written about it than several seasons of his career. Spanneraol (talk) 03:48, 17 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

What is wrong with the lead?

I don't see what the problem is that's causing that huge space in the middle of the text. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:33, 12 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

He’s has TWO World Series rings. 2006 & 2013. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:4e61:17f0:b11e:1221:2d88:fcab (talk) 16:53, 8 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

I'm sure you mean 2011 instead of 2013, and this is addressed in the article at Adam Wainwright#2011. --Spiffy sperry (talk) 17:26, 8 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

In the box where it has his accomplishmentsvit says onky world series champion (2006) doesnt mention 2011 in that section 2603:6010:F145:300:195B:C57:F628:B585 (talk) 12:42, 8 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

He was injured and did not play in that series. Spanneraol (talk) 13:50, 8 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Sources saying Wainwright is a 2x champion:

Sources saying Wainwright is a 1x champion:

AP doesn't declare anything, just saying the Cardinals won two world series during his tenure but he missed all of 2011.

I'm bringing this up in the aftermath of WP:KERSHAWRFC.

2011

Latest comment: 5 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

He was on the Cardinals roster in 2011, even if he didn’t play. No other athlete misses a season and gets a comma in the middle of their team tenure ~2026-11676-91 (talk) 23:47, 1 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
