Miracles continue for dad of Bucs' Williams

BRADENTON, Fla. -- Trevor Williams watches the video once a week, he figures -- maybe more often than that. It was the first time he saw his father cry.

"Ever," Trevor said. "He's emotional, but he's not a crier."

Richard Williams made an exception after Trevor's Major League debut, the Pirates' 4-3 victory over the Cardinals on Sept. 7. Trevor met his family near PNC Park's home dugout. He kissed his wife, Jackie, who was holding their sleeping 11-month-old son, Isaac.

Then Richard stepped forward to hug his son. Trevor surprised his father, who was unable to contain his emotions, with the ball from his first Major League win.
