I don’t care who your team is, every fan of baseball needs to celebrate these moments.

[Coastable]

I am sure Wes Wilson will come back to this video to show to his kids and grandkids. what a valuable piece of history for him!

[hondaphan]

I love his father's reaction because any dad worth a damn would be doing the same thing. What a night to be a Phillies fan.

[p.freeman]

I don't even watch baseball, but I came here to see this! I'm so happy for this young man, his family, his team, and their fans!

Any parent who has gone down the baseball journey with their son knows exactly what they are feeling, at least to some extent. A solid decade of pure commitment from the player and his family, half or more of each year on the road in tournaments, nonstop practices, all of the emotional ups and downs and sacrifices made, all coming to a head at one moment. You can just see the pride he has for his son. Very special.

Wes hits his first career home run during his first ab. Nick Castellanos hits his 199th and 200th career home run, and Micheal lorenzen throws a no-no during his first start as a Phillie in CBP. You can’t write this stuff. What a magical night in Philly. ❤

These are the greatest moments in sports! Everyone that played as a kid dreams of this.

That made me shed a few tears. Not a Phillies fan and I don't know who this young man is, but what a great moment.
Congratulations to Wes and the Wilson family. Kudos to the announcers for a wonderful call and commentary.

This stuff gets me every time with the family. I love it. Great job by the broadcast crew capturing all that. Congratulations Wes!

[rgr]

Congratulations Wes. I watched it yesterday and I'm crying again today. Dad stuff really gets to my heart strings as my father has passed and I now have a 4 y/o boy. Incredible moment.

[jessc.]

His family, his teammates, the fans….this is what baseball is about! Goosebumps and tears, congrats Wes!!

[BOBBYP]

Mets fan here, CONGRATULATIONS, so happy your family was there to see it

[Bombcityhubby]

Love his dad's emotion. And Harper top step waiting on the rookie says everything you need to know about who he is as a teammate ❤❤

[Stevedrums]

Never heard of him before this and aren't a Phillies fan. And yet, how happy and proud I am of him. What a moment! I'm envious!!!!

[SugarFreeLatte]

Gets to play in the big leagues for the first time, gets to hit a homerun in his very first at bat in front of his family, and he even gets to celebrate with Bryce Harper a 2 time MVP, when he gets back to the dugout, thats a special moment

[celebratedfamilycards]

That was such a cool moment! So happy for him and his family!

[timothymcknight]

I saw that on TV. Now I watched, again, a year later. Still brings tears. I just know how his family has been following him, taking care of the business of life, as he pursues his dream. Even if, he never has a good career in the majors, this moment last a lifetime! This from a long time Pirates fan! Congrats to Wilson, and his family!!!

[rainstorm]

This is very emotional for me. Thank you Dad for playing catch with me and my brother even if you just came home from a hard days work as kids and for always being there at our little league games rooting for us and for being proud of us we love you Dad and we miss you so much

[sandyanthony]

Always great to see this. Blue Jay rookie Davis Schneider hit a Homer his first AB days earlier in Fenway in front of his family and set a major league record with 9 hits, 2 homeruns in his first 3 games. Love seeing this special moment shared with family members.

[ericcarson]

Damn! Seeing dad tear up. I think I got something in my eye.
