…thanks the Topps baseball card company, at least Rangers fans will have an idea of what Wilson would look like in a Rangers jersey starting in May.
That’s when the company will release a Wilson baseball card as part of its Bowman brand, which is usually reserved for prospects. Wilson is in a Rangers uniform in the card, which won’t be part of the base product but will be a limited edition card.
“There are two reasons we decided to put him in,” said Marc Stephens, the marketing manager for Topps. “First he switched teams. Plus, for the same reason the Rangers picked him up, he’s an exciting story, a big story. As soon as he switched teams we wanted a prospect card of him. It seemed like a good idea considering the success he’s had. We wanted to showcase a dual-sport athlete.”
