Before Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson throws a pass at Arcisure Stadium, he’ll throw a baseball at PNC Park. Wilson is slated to throw out the first pitch at tomorrow’s Pirates game when they host the Boston Red Sox.

Wilson played baseball growing up and had he not chosen the football and NFL path, might’ve made a push to play professional baseball.
In fact, Wilson played for the Colorado Rockies minor league affiliates throughout the 2010 and 2011 seasons.
