JUPITER, Fla. -- St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Ryan Sherriff thought clubhouse prankster Adam Wainwright was taking him for a ride. Turns out, he was about to be given one.
When the Cardinals' traveling secretary asked Sherriff for his driver's license, the 26-year-old left-hander thought someone was trying to mock his license photo, which still featured a picture from his high school days.
Sherriff spent last season at Triple-A Memphis and has an outside chance at making the big league roster. He couldn't afford to ship his car from California to Florida for spring training, so he rented a house about 10 minutes away.
