Will Wainwright and Molina set the record for most games as battery mates next year?
-
So last night Molina and Wainwright teamed up for their 300th game together as battery mates. They are 4th on the all-time list. They only need 25 more games to set the all time record?
Will it happen?
Molina has already signed for next year and based on the fact that Wainwright has a sub 3.00 era in 2021, was the August pitcher of the month, and has been the Cardinals most consistent pitcher in 2021 the odds are good that he will re-sign with the team.
Question is can they both stay healthy enough to pull it off? If not for the shortened season last year then they would be much closer to the needed number.
- Mickey Lolich (LHP) and Bill Freehan, Detroit Tigers, 1963-1975 – 324
- Warren Spahn (LHP) and Del Crandall, Boston/Milwaukee Braves, 1949-1963 – 316
- Red Faber (RHP) and Ray Schalk, Chicago White Sox, 1914-1926 – 306
- Adam Wainwright (RHP) and Yadier Molina, Cardinals, 2005-present – 300

I don't know. Molina isn't getting any younger, neither is Wainwright. If one of them gets injured, it might not happen.
