The two former Cardinals spoke to SI about reuniting in sports media, their favorite All-Star game memory, and more.
Albert Pujols and Adam Wainwright are teammates once more. The former St. Louis Cardinals stars both joined MLB Network as analysts after hanging up their cleats and will be central parts of the network's All-Star week coverage this week.
The pair, who combined for 14 All-Star appearances, took some time to speak to Sports Illustrated about being teammates again, how they're preparing for their ASG analysis, their own All-Star past, who they're looking forward to seeing the most this week, and more.: For me, obviously, being a teammate with Adam, everything we have accomplished together on the field goes more and beyond that. For me, it’s the human being, the person, the competitor, the brother-in-Christ.
The All-Star Game is a little crazy because everything happens so fast you want to be prepared. Us being there as a player, and now being there as media, we want to be very careful with the guys and respect their time. I think it’s going to be fine. We’re going to prepare for it well like we always have. We’re enjoying this, we’ll have fun with it, and I think that’s the best thing about it.
Then you leave those things with this cool bond. Maybe you got to hang with Freddie Freeman for a little while. Then you see him and you’re playing the Dodgers, while you’re out there on the field you want to murder each other or whatever. But when you see him on the side, he gets to first, you’re like, ‘What’s up, Freddie!’ There’s a cool relationship that happens from that.
