INDIANAPOLIS Russell Wilson has now done what Babe Ruth did 1,122 times for the New York Yankees.
Strike out.
The legendary Bambino whiffed all those times in regular-season games for the world’s most fabled baseball team from 1920-34.
Wilson wanted his Seahawks jersey number 3 for his spring-training cameo with the Yankees this week in Florida but joked it was taken (by Ruth, forever). Seattle’s franchise quarterback, wearing shiny, reflective sunglasses and jersey number 73 over the Yankees’ iconic, pinstriped pants, struck out swinging Friday in a spring-training game in Tampa against the Atlanta Braves.
