BOSTON -- Jacob Wilson's father will be very proud.
All that work on the Little League fields has paid off.
Wilson set an MLB record for his position, playing his 111th consecutive errorless game, surpassing the Orioles' Mike Bordick's 110 that was done in 2002.
His dad, Jack, a former 12-year major league shortstop who played for the Pittsburgh Pirates, instilled that defense comes first.
