The 37-year-old quarterback, who has a background in minor league baseball, hit a groundout during his at-bat and broke his bat. Wilson, a former Super Bowl champion and 10-time Pro Bowler, has struggled with his NFL career since leaving Seattle, recently signing with the Giants. Currently, he is a free agent after a brief stint as a starter.
