wNS9+ Jack Wilson Returns to Talk Pirates, Coaching, and Parenting in Baseball

Former Pirates shortstop Jack Wilson joins the North Shore Nine crew for a wide-ranging, fun, and insightful conversation about baseball then and now. We kick things off with what Jack’s been up to lately—coaching in the Appalachian League, mentoring young players, and watching his son Jacob rise through the A’s system. From there, we dive into his time in Pittsburgh: the clubhouse culture, his favorite teammates, the highs and lows of being a Bucco, and what made those early-2000s teams so special despite the records. Jack also shares his perspective on today’s Pirates, how he’d coach “young Jack Wilson,” and what it takes to build a winning culture from the ground up. If you're a Pirates fan or just love good baseball stories, you won’t want to miss this one. 🎙 Subscribe to the channel and hit the bell so you never miss a show!
