Wes Wilson hits homer in first career AB and has family in tears in stands! 

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

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.

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!

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!

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. ❤

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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!!!!

I'm a Giants fan but that was a very special moment, that was awesome.

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.

Dad kept himself together A LOT better than I would have.

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

Can't imagine what it would be like raising a kid, taking him to all the little league games. Watching him in HS and everything. Then to see him live out his dream and not only that, but Homer his first at bat. No wonder dad cried.

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

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

i have a ball from him and i went to one of his games!! i remember going in nashville and sitting next to his grandpa.. he told me i could get a ball but i had to leave early.. so instead of just a ball i got a note and everything on the ball and a note away from it. i’m so glad because i spent 2 years saying “why isn’t he in the major leagues yet” and now i see this!! i will forever keep that ball i got :)

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

I will remember this game for the rest of my life. What an amazing series of events.

Yeah, that gets to you all right . All those years supporting your child and being there to help get him to this point and seeing that kind of result is just unbelievable .

not a phillies fan but seriously love this moment for him and his family

Whatever becomes of his career,this can't be taken away. He hit a HR at the highest level of baseball

The kid with the fu shirt right in front of the family must have been a pain for the camera man.

2 families crying of joy yesterday.

How can you NOT smile watching this

My brother sent me this clip. I was asleep, work crazy hours. I’m a womb life long Phillies fan and sorry I missed this live. Lost my dad Nov 2022 and one of the few things I did right was play baseball. Dad only missed one game ever, never missed a practice. Anyways my brother sends me this clip and says this reminds him of how proud you would make dad. Humbled, missing dad, so proud of Wilson, must be a crazy journey just to get to this point.

Always wanted to make my dad proud like that 😢

First guy to greet him at the dugout was Harper. What a teammate.

The baseball grind just to make it to the majors makes a man out of any blue chip kid and humbles them daily along the path. That’s why this sport is so unique, the men who succeed in it have been through the mill of self doubt, financial insecurity, disappointment and perpetual hope. The father’s tears were s deeply heartwarming moment of joy knowing his son had made the most of a beautiful opportunity and also reassurance all those hours playing with the boy made his dreams come true!

I doubt I’m the only person crying watching this haha such a special moment

Every young ballplayer dreams of this moment

I like how the dad was the first guy up. That is so awesome.

Reminds me of when fans were screaming Purdy, Purdy and his Father was so emotional! These moments are so real!

Came for the homerun, stayed for the emotional aftermath.

That’s the best, what a great feeling it must be.

Anybody else catch Casty’s kid showing up in all these highlights? Obviously his dad when he hit his HRs, during this HR, when Wilson later stole 2nd, with Lorenzen’s family at points. He’s like the unofficial ambassador to the team’s families.

The Dad crying definitely made me cry 😢

As a parent, we can attest to the success of our children. It’s what you work so hard for over the course of many years. Then, you see something like this and you can’t help but feel such a sense of relief . It’s an emotional relief knowing your children will make it. I think teachers feel similarly when they learn of the success of one of their students.

0:07 The man’s shirt🗿

Great moment for Wilson and his family and Philly team mates.

Well done, seeing his family cry for him,made me tear up, God bless

Congratulations young man… I listened to you speak after the game and your humility is inspiring 😎👍 have a long, healthy baseball career… you earned it

I celebrate these victories and only wish I could have bestowed such amazing feats upon my father when he were still alive! Bless you Wilson family, very happy for your joyous occasion! 🙌🏼

Okay Uncle Wes! Even the baby approved 😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Congratulations 🎉

This is an amazing young man and family. They have had their share of struggles and lead lives of service and humility. If you need a athlete to root for its not just Wes but his entire family. They are Tebows without the hype. You want to have a better more fulfilling life and feel a spirit you will never forget. You need to spend time with the Wilsons.

Damn that was awesome. A moment they will never forget and that’s one way to make a statement young man and keep that roster spot.

I don't even watch baseball, but I love when a player hits a home run on his first at bat in the major league, especially when they show the family's reactions.

This is especially meaningful, because it took Wes Wilson so long to get a chance in the Major Leagues.

Goosebumps, what a hit

Congratulations! That's an awesome moment.

That was a awesome swing! Happy for the new Philly player and his family. Hope they keep him in the lineup.

I'm as Philly as it gets but this is what baseball is about. Family, hot dogs, cold beer, seventh inning stretches. Baseball.

Great moment for the family and my one day to be a Phillies fan to celebrate for them 🎉

i was there, at let me tell you the energy in that stadium was insane, even before the thought of a no-hitter! we were all so proud of him ❤

Good for you Wes. You can tell your family is so proud!

Rookie hits first home run in first AB and starting pitcher makes debut with a no hitter. All in one game.

Ok this also made me cry!! Congratulations!!

No one can take that away from him...

Awesome. Happy for the family and congrats to him. From what I saw in his swing I see many more in his career.

Wow. That’s great for that kid. He’s got a bright future

That night was magic!!

Congratulations wilson, you deserve it.🎉. Welcome to Philly 😊😊

That’s awesome, lots of emotions just watching it

Awesome moments like these make it more than just a game.

That's gotta be an amazing feeling for all involved!

Awesome & powerfully inspiring!

His dad was just thinking about all the moments man, tee ball on up...all the struggles. Good for them both!

What a great life moment for him and his family!!

Player and his family when they were humble. I hope they stay that way.

We would watch him play when he played for the Sounds in Nashville. So sooo awesome to see this!!!

Lol that shot of the family was great

Please tell me I’m not the only one laughing at that baby getting scared 😂

Living the dream! So awesome!

He CRUSHED that thing

Was it "first pitch" as well? Not only his first AB but the very first pitch he faced in the ML? Awesome.

Andruw Jones hit a home run in his first 2 World Series at bats in just his second year in the Majors .

I hope that little girl gives him that ball. I know it’s a wonderful thing to catch one like that but he deserves that ball! I’m not even a baseball fan but that was awesome!

What a great father!

priceless reactions from the dugout and family

Gotta love a 28 year old getting his shot at the "Big Show" & his first AB rips a Home Run with his family in attendance. Cheers to him & many more years in MLB.

Priceless!!!!!

The pitcher knew it was gone as soon as it left his hand and that was an effortless no doubt about it swing!

I keep replaying 2:39. Just to watch all their faces. Amazing!

What a proud dad!!!

In the Moment!!! Priceless!!!

And this is what makes sports special. Its not about the money, politics, or race. Its the love of the game. 28 years old finally makes the majors and does it right. Sweet!

Best....feeling...ever

Wow. What a moment.

Not a fan of either of these teams BUT....stuff like this is what makes me absolutely love sports as a whole. Congrats sir

If your a father with boys that pl;ay any sport, this gets you everytime.

Looks like he’s done it 1,000 times lol. Def looked comfortable in the situation. Braves fan here and he will probably be good for years and years

AWSOME!!! Moment. 👏👏👏👏

Thats a beautiful swing. Its like effortless. Just smooth, not extra movements. Leg kick like ichiro but a strong swing like Trout.

Right in the feels

That entire game was a keeper ......A " never-to-forget " day for the Lorenzen , and Wilson families ......forver .. !!!!

I don't know how many pitches that guy saw, but the fact he hit his first homer in his first at bat on an off-speed pitch is amazing. Normally they're probably looking for a heater.
