Shortly after being traded from the Texas Rangers to the New York Yankees on Wednesday, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson gave a social media shoutout to his late father. Harrison Wilson III, a lifelong Yankees fan, died in 2010 from complications related to diabetes. He had always hoped that his son would wear the pinstripes one day.
"I think he's smiling from ear to ear," Wilson said. "It was always something we talked about. He used to watch all the old Yankees and tell me stories. To be able put on the pinstripes, it's pretty exciting.
