Baseball fans in awe after Adam Wainwright's son steals the show during his dad's press conference
Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright's son stole the show during his dad's press conference on Thursday night post a monumental effort from the MLB vet who helped guide his team to a 16-8 win over the Dodgers.

"Adam Wainwright’s son, Caleb, stole the show at last night’s press conference" - MLB, Twitter.
The 41-year-old, who's plied his trade in the major leagues since 2005, turned back the clock against the Dodgers, pitching five innings with an ER of just two.
It wasn't his performance on the field, however, that everyone was gushing over. It was instead his son Caleb, who had MLB fans in awe of all his cute child hits during the presser. Drumming the mike and wanting a kiss among other things garnered plenty of laughs and had fans gushing over his cuteness on social media.
MLB fans applauded the heart-warming father and son relationship, with a majority reserving extra praise and attention for the little one.
@MLB Well if that isn’t as cute as can be ❤️
@MLB What a cool moment for both of them. He is adorable
@MLB Love to see the players and their kids. Help us fans remember they are humans and have families. I’m not one to boo a player but hopefully someone remembers this next time they want to boo a player.
@MLB Adam Wainwright is who we should all want to be when we grow up; not that he's 6'7 or a great pitcher. Just because he's an exemplary human being.
@MLB He’s so cute!!
@MLB Future 20 game winner Caleb Wainwright 🥲
@MLB Baseball is the best 🥹
@MLB What a cutie pie
@MLB Sweet Caleb.
@MLB Ayo goood for Adam 😈😈😈
Adam Wainwright is a three-time MLB All-Star
Picked up by the Atlanta Braves with the 29th overall pick in the first round of the 2000 amateur draft, Wainwright made his MLB debut on Sept. 11, 2005.
A one-team man all his major league career, Wainwright has only played for the St. Louis Cardinals, almost certainly establishing himself as a club legend.
During his time in the majors, Wainwright has won the coveted World Series title once in 2006, arguably his most prized accolade. He's been voted to three MLB All-Star teams, twice won the Gold Glove Award and the Silver Slugger Award once.
