Russell Wilson has signed a one-year contract with the Giants, but this isn't his first foray in New York. Seven years prior, Wilson pinch-hit for the Yankees, showcasing his past as a two-sport athlete. Selected as a baseball prospect multiple times, he briefly played in the Rockies' minor league system before focusing on his football career. Yankees GM Brian Cashman praised Wilson's athleticism, highlighting the opportunity to learn from him. Reflecting on his experience, Wilson expressed confidence, remembering the thrill of competing at the plate against a top prospect.
We've admired Russell's career from afar for quite some time. This is a unique opportunity for us to learn from an extraordinary athlete who has reached the pinnacle of his profession.
The best thing for me is, I had no fear. I went up there with confidence. I was ready. I'll always remember that.
