Carnival clown heckles Wainwright; Wainwright dunks him

KMOX's Tom Ackerman: 'little did the clown know, this is a guy who's gonna be in the Cardinals Hall of Fame, [is] one of the best pitchers of his generation'

KMOX's Tom Ackerman joins Jeff Katz, in for Marc Cox, and chats about the legacy of Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright, and his recent appearance at a carnival. A clown in a dunk tank egged Wainwright on, daring him to throw a ball to knock him into the tank. Wainright obliged.

"His name's Adam Wainwright, so after talking some trash, Wainwright fires one, of course he does. Like it's nothing, right down the middle, perfect strike. Down goes the clown," said Ackerman. "he takes the other baseball, sets it down, and walks away. He only needed one."


"That's his offseason training," joked Ackerman.
