Superbowl quarterback Russell Wilson takes the baseball field!

 

               The Seattle Seahawks recently took home the Super bowl title on February 2,2014 but is that all Mr. Wilson has in his plans? Maybe possibly a World Series champ too? On March 3, 2014 Russell Wilson was seen on the Texas Rangers field, showing off some of his unique skills. His good attitude lead to a positive outcome from some of his teammates. According to www.profootball.com “He talked about self-motivation and on priding himself on getting ready,” outfielder Michael Choice said. “To see a guy that age that poised and that prepared was really impressive. He is well beyond his years in terms of wisdom. Yes, I learned something, but I think he could talk to 40-year-olds and they’d learn something, too.” Mr. Wilson was taking his session's very seriously and wanted to prove his skills on the baseball field.  According to the report,outfielder Michael Choice stated that Wilson “remained very focused on every grounder and every pivot. He smiled easily, but appeared to be totally locked in." Maybe there is room for a world series ring along with his super bowl ring.
                     Wilson is not the only athlete who has encompassed two professional sports, there is Bo Jackson who is a retired professional baseball and football player and also Michael Jordan who is a  former professional baseball and basketball player. Jackson was selected with the first overall pick of the 1986 NFL Draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he opted to play baseball for the Kansas City Royals, who had drafted him in the fourth round in the 1986 amateur draft. He is the only athlete to be named an All Star  in two major American sports and he was named the greatest athlete of all time by ESPN. While Jordan surprised the sports world by signing a minor league baseball contract with the Chicago White Sox on February 7, 1994. He was also a player of the NBA Chicago Bulls from 1984-1993 and 1995-1998.
              Overall there are no limits when an athlete is determined to leave a mark on professional sports history, while retired or just starting a major career they will be forever remembered and embraced by fans all over the country. And you never know maybe soon we will see Wilson on the baseball filed this year.
