Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson recently said he believed baseball was his best sport, making Colorado Rockies fans go down the “what if” road.

In a recent interview on the Barstool Sports “Pardon My Take” podcast, Seattle Seahawks All-Pro quarterback Russell Wilson said that baseball was “my love” growing up and that he believed he could have been a legitimate Major League Baseball player had he not turned his back on baseball after being drafted by the Seattle Seahawks with the 75th pick in the 2012 NFL draft.
