"It was like, 'By the way, I won the Gold Glove,'" [Nancy Wainwright] said. "It slipped his mind during dinner? I said, 'I've taught you to be humble, but not with your mother.' Don't be humble with your own mother."
Nancy Wainwright said her son "got used to living in the fishbowl as the hometown hero." It would take a tad longer for Adam and Jenny to take their seats at any of the local restaurants just because he would stop for congratulations and well wishes from the locals. That's changed. Back home as a big-leaguer, there's a respectful distance kept, and that's how it was a week or so ago at Crabdaddy's.
The Wainwrights and Miss Nancy, as folks call her, welcomed Adam's agent, Steven Hammond, for dinner on the day Adam found out he won this year's Gold Glove. In between the cheese grits and fried shrimp, it didn't come up.
A.D.A.M. at home. Yeah, Bulldog.
...there's also:
There's the fried shrimp at The Crab Trap, the shrimp and grits at Crabdaddys and the pumpkin bread and crab cakes at Barbara Jean's. Adam and Jenny, who was then his high school sweetheart, would arrive late for class after ducking by Dressner's for an omelet so thin it could be a doily.
