While playing for the Oaks, Wilson faced the same bigotry and racial hatred that Robinson did on the other side of the country. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1951, Wilson made his big league debut for the New York Giants, but he eventually told the Giants manager to send him back to the minor leagues so the team could bring up a young star in the organization: Willie Mays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
