Overview
- Wilson, who batted in the fifth inning Sunday at Yankee Stadium, broke his bat and was retired on a Banana Ball trick play.
- The sold‑out showcase drew roughly 40,000 fans as the Party Animals beat the Bananas 7–2 in the touring league’s entertainment‑driven format.
- He thanked Bananas founder Jesse Cole on X and noted their tie from 2009, when Cole was his summer‑ball general manager with the Gastonia Grizzlies.
- Wilson’s baseball past includes a fourth‑round MLB selection by the Rockies in 2010, two minor‑league seasons, and later rights held by the Rangers and Yankees with a 2018 spring‑training cameo.
- He remains an NFL free agent after a brief 2025 stint with the Giants, and the appearance was a one‑off spectacle that did not signal a change in his football plans.
