Did you know Tom Brady played baseball and almost was a Major League Baseball (MLB) star?
Tom Brady Could Have Been a Major League Baseball Player
Most know Brady as a star quarterback in the National Football League, where he won seven Super Bowls. Six are with the New England Patriots, and one is with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. What would pro football have looked like if Brady pursued a baseball career instead of playing football?
Tom Brady, the 1995 MLB Draft Pick
Aside from being a football star at Junipero Serra High School in California, Brady was also a talented baseball player. As a left-handed batting catcher who could hit for power, Brady started to attract scouts from the MLB. In 1995, Brady was selected by the Montreal Expos.
However, everyone knows that Brady left baseball to pursue an opportunity to play college football at Michigan before being drafted by the Patriots in 2000.
