‘Best to Ever Do It’: Russell Wilson Congratulates MLB Star on His Retirement

Seattle Mariners star Kyle Seager decided to retire after a remarkable career in the MLB as a third baseman. Another athlete who represents the city of Seattle, but for the NFL, is Russell Wilson. And since the city of Seattle is like a big family, Russell Wilson, the Seattle Seahawks star quarterback and an equally important member of this family, took to Twitter to congratulate the 34-year-old on his retirement.

Wilson made sure to pay tribute to the person who has contributed to the sports culture of the city. The NFL star has been no less than an icon in the city of Seattle. And on Wednesday, the city witnessed one sports icon pay respects to another sports icon of the city.

“One of the best to ever do it on the hot corner. Congrats to a true Seattle legend Kyle Seager on an outstanding career!” Wilson tweeted yesterday. The city of Seattle knows that Russell has been going through some tough times this season in carrying the Seahawks. Especially after his finger injury.

The Seattle Seahawks currently secure fourth place in the NFC West division with a pitiful 5-10 record. They have also been eliminated from the playoff contention now and are on a desperate lookout to improve their squad before the commencement of the next season.

This season could be a lesson for the Russell Wilson side. They could use this lesson to culminate their performance next season. But as far as Wilson is concerned, he will take his competitiveness and durability to the next level since he is one of the most hard-working players in the NFL.

To sum it up, it was surely not the best year for the city of Seattle. Even though they bid farewell to one of their best basemen in MLB and failed to make the playoffs in the NFL, they would still support their athletes with the same zest and enthusiasm as they did before.
