Good Deeds Come Full Circle Nolan Arenado’s Powerful Words to Brendan Donovan Leave Cardinals Fans in Awe
St. Louis, September 15, 2025 For much of his career, Nolan Arenado has been the definition of professionalism a player admired for his toughness, defensive brilliance, and unwavering dedication. This week, though, the Cardinals’ veteran third baseman displayed another side of his leadership, offering a heartfelt message to teammate Brendan Donovan that resonated deeply with both the clubhouse and Cardinals Nation.
After Donovan recently expressed gratitude and love toward the fans, Arenado made sure everyone knew that respect flows both ways. In comments that quickly gained traction among media and supporters, the Gold Glove star praised Donovan not only for his play but for the example he sets every day.
“Brendan plays the right way. It’s not just about stats he leaves everything on the field for this team, and that’s why fans admire him so much. As his teammate, I couldn’t hold him in higher regard,” Arenado said, his words carrying the authority of one of baseball’s most respected figures.
For Cardinals fans, the exchange felt like a symbolic handoff the established veteran saluting the team’s emerging leader. Social media lit up with reactions such as “Arenado giving Donovan his flowers is why this team is special” and “Good deeds truly come back around.”
Donovan, now viewed as St. Louis’ most dependable contributor in 2025, was humbled by the gesture. “To hear that from Nolan means everything. He’s the standard we all measure ourselves against. That’s something I’ll always carry with me,” Donovan said.
For a fanbase that treasures heart and loyalty as much as victory, the moment went far beyond the scoreboard. Arenado’s message showed that in St. Louis, respect isn’t simply earned it’s shared and celebrated.
