St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright has decided he will return for another season in 2023. Dan Dakich applauded the move, and had criticism for the media in the process.
During Don’t @ Me for OutKick, Dakich said it’s not the media’s place to tell players when or if they should retire.
“There is never a reason to quit,” Dakich said. “Why you gonna quit? Because some pizza-stained media peasant is gonna tell you ‘Hey, look. Your legacy is going to be hindered. I don’t want you looking like Willie Mays with the Mets.’ So what what you want? Go eat another slice, you ridiculous, lying, media person, you. Play forever!”
Dakich concluded by saying Willie Mays probably enjoyed playing his final season in center field for the Mets, which media members can’t understand.
