A Democratic group recently made a run at former St. Louis Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright in an attempt to lure him into running for a U.S. House of Representatives seat, according to a report from Jacob Rubashkin of Inside Elections.
Wainwright, a three-time All-Star and 2006 World Series champion with the Cardinals, played his entire 18-year Major League career in St. Louis. He knows Missouri well, and Democratic leaders are hoping he'll consider running against Republican representative Ann Wagner for the state's second congressional district seat.
