Video: Steelers' Russell Wilson Takes Batting Practice Ahead of Pirates 1st Pitch

The Pittsburgh Pirates have an unexpected new addition to their roster.

Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson took batting practice at PNC Park before throwing the first pitch against the Boston Red Sox Friday afternoon.

Wilson then broke out a football and connected on a pass to Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen.

The Friday trip to PNC Park continues Wilson's ongoing tour of Pittsburgh sports. The new Steelers quarterback also attended a Penguins game last weekend.
