It's Adam Wainwright's eighteenth and final season in St. Louis, and what better way to kick it off than to surprise everyone in attendance on opening day with this beautiful rendition of our national anthem.

Dang, Uncle Charlie got some pipes!

I'm guessing Wainwright's gonna milk this season for all the fun it's worth, and I look forward to covering more stunts like this over the next eight months.

Enjoy your final season, Waino.

You've earned it!
