Wilson is dedicated to the Taoist and follow the "Straight Edge" lifestyle (abstaining from alcohol and drugs and promiscuous sex to maintain health). Demonstrates his choice to be Straight Edge, Wilson has the words "Straight Edge" tattooed along the length of its trunk, the Japanese characters on the shoulder, saying, "Poison Free" and "XXX" stitched on his glove for a straight blue board symbol.The blue glove is in itself unusual for baseball players (who tend to wear the traditional brown glove). Wilson wears blue gloves when rangers dressed in blue uniforms (or their gray road uniforms), is also adorned with a red glove when I launch a game in which the Rangers wear their alternate red uniform.
