Cardinals give away pitcher’s truck in excellent prank

4/2/2012

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright, who missed all of last season after elbow surgery, was pretty psyched for the lucky fan who won a new truck at the game Sunday -- until he realized that it was his own 2009 white Silverado truck that was being given away, the AP reports. Teammate Lance Berkman drove the truck onto the field after the second inning and third baseman David Freese's uncle pretended to have the faux winning ticket, coming down out of the stands with his son to jump into his new prize before Wainwright could get up onto the field to put an end to the joke. Welcome back, Adam. April Fools'!
