Before the Pittsburgh Pirates' game against the Athletics on Friday, a father and son provided a beautiful blast from the past.
Nearly two decades ago, then-Pirates shortstop Jack Wilson caught a first pitch from his four-year-old son Jacob at PNC Park. Jacob would go on to have his own baseball career, getting selected sixth overall by the A's in 2023 and making his MLB debut last season.
On Friday, the rookie paid his father back by catching his first pitch before his first game at PNC Park.

The A's would go on to win 4-3, with the younger Wilson going 0-for-4.
Despite the hitless performance, 2025 has been a significant success for the 23-year-old Wilson, who is currently slashing .317/.360/.451 from a premium defensive position. Alongside Rookie of the Year frontrunner Nick Kurtz, he's provided optimism for an A's team currently going through a transition and is on track to be a central piece for the team when it reaches Las Vegas.
