Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Trevor Williams and his wife, Jackie, showed up November 12 to check out the offices and stop by the radio show.
Trevor, 26, was a baseball star at Rancho Bernardo High School in San Diego. After graduating from Arizona State University, he was a second-round draft pick of the Miami Marlins in 2013. In 2015 he was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates and had a breakout season in 2018.
Trevor and Jackie, who met at church, had lunch with several baseball-fan staff members who peppered him with questions about life in the big leagues. Jackie has put her career as a registered nurse on hold to raise their three-year-old son, Isaac, and support her husband. The Williamses talked about the challenge of moving often (seven times in four years) and what they consider the greatest city in the country (Indianapolis, where he played minor league ball for a year).
The young couple, professed book lovers (and magazine lovers—Trevor says he looks forward to each issue of Catholic Answers Magazine) left loaded down with plenty of books and other faith materials.
So great to see a young Catholic couple bringing their strong faith to such a big stage.
