Wilson will sign complimentary photos on Saturday from noon to 2 p.m. He lives in Ventura County with his wife and three children.

‘Professional athletes can have a big influence on young people, and I am blessed to be fortunate enough to now run an indoor batting complex that is designed to be the premier facility of its kind in the region, dedicated to helping both baseball and softball ballplayers of every age,’ Wilson said.
