BSB | Wisdom's Wait Ends As Call-Up To MLB Comes

St. Louis Cardinals Press Release

KANSAS CITY — For the second time in just over a month, a former member of the Saint Mary's baseball program received the phone call that every baseball player hopes to receive. And this time, it was six years in the making.

Patrick Wisdom's wait came to an end Saturday when the St. Louis Cardinals purchased his contract from the Triple-A Memphis Redbirds to bring him up to the MLB level for their current series at the Kansas City Royals. Wisdom, a former all-West Coast Conference First Teamer for the Gaels, was drafted by the Cardinals in the supplemental first round of the 2012 MLB First-Year Players' Draft as the 52nd overall pick.
