Brian Wilson Storing World Series Baseball in a Candy Jar Makes Perfect Sense

Giants closer Brian Wilson relishes playing the part of the oddball, eccentric weirdo, so it’s probably the least surprising news ever that the ball he struck out Texas outfielder Nelson Cruz with to end the World Series doesn’t sit atop a mantelpiece, or in a trophy case, but rather, resides in a candy jar.
A Halloween candy jar, of course.  Why?  Because it’s Brian Wilson we’re talking about here, and the whole thing seems wholly appropriate.

“I don’t have a huge case for it,” Wilson said. “To be honest with you, I put it in a Halloween candy jar. It was a delicious treat winning the World Series. I pick it up once in a while, play catch with it and toss it around.”

All I can say is, better a candy jar than “The Machine’s” codpiece.  Last thing you want is to have a treasured piece of memorabilia smelling like Pat Burrell’s taint.
