That's such an interesting thought! Imagine the athleticism and strategic thinking Tom Brady brings to football, but applied to baseball. It's always fascinating to think about athletes excelling in different sports. The skills, discipline, and dedication required to succeed in one sport often translate well into another. Plus, the mental and physical agility needed to switch between sports is truly admirable. It's exciting to think about the possibilities and the new dynamics that such a talented athlete could bring to the baseball field! 🏈⚾💫

[@nrkgalt]

Brady was originally drafted as a catcher. A number of NFL QBs who played baseball at a high level were all position players. John Elway was an outfielder, as was Kyler Murray. Russell Wilson was a 2nd baseman. One would think there would be more pitchers. Jameis Winston was an outfielder and pitcher, but I can’t think of any others.

[@ILOVETHEWHAMMY]

Jeff Samarzija was a Wide Receiver at Notre Dame!

[@RealzFoSho]

Basketball, Wrestling, Hockey, and Football always overlapped too much in highschool to make it practical to play multiples. Baseball was the sport that was flexible enough with training and for the most part did not have game/match overlaps, that someone could participate in it during their offseason from another sport. Baseball was THE multi-sport option which is why you often see top level athletes in one sport also have a history with Baseball. As for the pitcher thing, the throwing movement is wildly different between the two. They might both be throwing but they are nothing alike beyond both being throwing. There is also the serious physical concern of overusing an arm even at a highschool level.

The most unrealistic thing about this video is Tom sleeping in until after noon

[@tedioussugar384]

I’m more confused about why he’s with the Montreal Expos. Boston Red Sox would have made more sense for the whole ‘New England but baseball’ thing. Boston is an AL East team, New England plays in the AFC East division. The team colours for both are maroon, white, and navy blue. Boston could still break the Curse of the Bambino with him in 2004, and win 6 World Series during his career, with Tom winning a seventh one after he moves to the Rays. Plus, the bit about losing to the Giants would make more sense, because A, both the NY Giants won 2 Super Bowls (2007,2011)and the SF Giants won 3 World Series in 5 years (2010,12,14) and B, he could actually beat Atlanta and be beaten by San Francisco in the World Series realistically. IRL, the Expos played alongside the Braves and Giants in the National League, so it’s impossible for them to play each other in the World Series itself.

[@datsko6339]
