At the helm of the team’s Twitter account, Wilson — who normally tweets under the handle @adrian_wilson24 — began with some play by play before answering a barrage of fan questions. Fans tweeted in questions using the hashtag #ADubTakeover.
We're about to be taken over by 5-time Pro Bowler @adrian_wilson24. Tweet him your questions using #ADubTakeover. https://t.co/JsJctmwvNJ

He talked about his (pre-ceremonial first pitch) baseball career.
I attempted to play but let's just say I had control and accuracy issues #ADubTakeover https://t.co/S4RBcoDbmf

And his yips before tossing the pitch.
Super nervous… Didn't realize how far home plate was until I turned around https://t.co/0QRJPPsQrw

True to form, he loved to make big hits.
It's for sure to many to name but let's say I enjoyed everyone 😁😁 https://t.co/gpzIV9OAWl

Oh, and his pregame diet.
It blends very nicely.. Wasn't apart of the diet though https://t.co/EZXzYVWwQd

His prognostications for the NL West may be a little off…
Giants won the World Series so I would say them https://t.co/QFGH1KUNJG

But he knows a star when he sees one.
Goldy is my favorite on the dbacks #ADubTakeover https://t.co/5bRCAWEHGJ

And between he and Larry Fitzgerald, well, who was the star?
I try not to hurt my teammates. He would say he won and I would say I won.. #ADubTakeover https://t.co/JwuWcaDpnk
