Los Angeles Angels pitcher C.J. Wilson is once again giving back to Chicago.

With just a few days until Thanksgiving, the left-handed veteran posted these photos to Twitter:

Wilson is the owner of CJ Wilson Automotive Group, which includes a number of dealerships throughout the Chicago area.

This past summer, the California native gave a grant to police in Orland Park, where one of Wilson’s dealerships is located, according to the Chicago Tribune.

The two-time All-Star has a 3.74 ERA in 11 seasons split between Los Angeles and the Texas Rangers.

Illinois wetlands deserve protection. Lawmakers should make that happen, while there is still time.
State lawmakers can pass legislation that would restore the safeguards the U.S. Supreme Court removed last year on wetlands, which play a key role in helping to mitigate the impact of climate change and are critical habitats for birds, insects, mammals and amphibians.
