Kolten Wong spent parts of eight seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals, giving him a front-row seat to the defensive prowess of Yadier Molina. So when Wong successfully stole a base against the Cardinals Wednesday evening, he took time to cherish the moment.
In addition to toying with Molina after the stolen base, Wong made sure to take the base that he stole with him home after the game:
Even though Wong won his second consecutive Gold Glove Award in 2020, the Cardinals declined his $12.5 million option for 2021. Wong latched on with the division-rival Brewers, and he's become a major reason that the Crew are 12 games ahead of the Cardinals in the National League Central. In the first year of a two-year/$18 million pact, Wong is slashing .283/.344/.453 with nine home runs, 29 RBIs and a 2.2 fWAR. The sure-handed infielder also has six defensive runs saved in 2021.
