Adam Wainwright sings 'The Star-Spangled Banner' at Busch

Bet you haven't heard Busch Stadium much louder than when the crowd found out Adam Wainwright was going to be singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" on Opening Day.

Waino is just unbelievably incredible

[@charleslevalley2757]

Maybe he should be looking into recording on the side.

It Looked Like No One Knew Not Even Adam`s Teammates Did Not Know He Was Singing The National Anthem Until The Last Second That Was An Awesome Surprise. Very Cool And He Did Real Good.

I got the same feeling by their reactions

[@davidm6256]

That rendition of the National Anthem is like pitching a no-hitter, another feather in your great career as a St. Louis Cardinal, great job Waino!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Let’s go Cards!

Grew up with Waino as my favorite. So sad it's his last season! So many good memories with him as a Cardinal! ❤⚾️

Padres fan here (not that it matters). This was a really well done heartfelt rendition as I've seen it here and certainly better than most. Wainwright and Cardinals fans should be proud, this was terrific!

His voice would do excellently in country.

It turns out he has a country style voice.

I'm a lifelong, huge Phillies fan....and Waino is a big rival for some 17 years now ...but WOW !!! What a great job and nice touch by the Cardinals organization !!!

[@davidhutch307]

Cool to see that the first half was very pitchy because of the nerves but he mostly locked it in during the 2nd half of the song. The notes he did hit perfectly were beautiful.

So disappointed when my all time fav Cardinal got injured, preventing him from, so justifiably so, starting the home opener. Yet, Adam Waino outdid even that, I think he’d say, treating all Cardinal Nation to a surprise moving National anthem.
