Ex-Pirates SS Wilson recreates 1st pitch to son

PITTSBURGH -- Former Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Jack Wilson threw out the first pitch Friday to his son, Jacob, who plays the same position for the Athletics as they revisited a similar scene from 19 years ago.

In 2006, 4-year-old Jacob Wilson threw out the first pitch to Jack before a Pirates game.

Jack Wilson played 12 seasons in the major leagues, including 2001-09 in Pittsburgh. His best season was in 2004 when he batted .308 with 59 RBI and a league-leading 12 triples.

Jacob Wilson entered Friday's game hitting .320 with 13 home runs and 59 RBI. This season, he became the first fan-elected rookie shortstop for the All-Star Game.
