Tom Brady is, quite likely, the best player ever to play football.
He is, without a question, the most influential and accomplished NFL player of all time, with seven Super Bowl wins and three MVP awards.
Did you know that he played baseball when he was younger?
In fact, he didn’t just play: he was very, very good.
He played as a catcher and hit left-handed.
His most notable skill was power.
The Montreal Expos took him in the 18th round of the 1995 MLB Draft, and team executives projected him as an All-Star.
Kevin Malone, general manager of the Expos back then, said Brady had the potential to be an all-time great at catcher.
The reason why Brady was chosen in the 18th round was because he was almost a lock to pick football over baseball, and ended up doing just that.
After completing a marvelous career in the NFL, baseball fans were left wondering what could have been.
The player himself published a very cool video of a fictitious reality in which he chose baseball over football.
It was part of an advertising move by a baseball card company.

In the video, we can see what could have been in a best-case scenario if Brady had stayed in Montreal and played baseball.
He is seen making the Hall of Fame and hitting 649 career home runs as a catcher!
Even Expos greats Vladimir Guerrero, Larry Walker, and Pedro Martinez are shown saying that Brady’s success helped keep the franchise in Montreal (it relocated to Washington, as the Nationals, in 2004).
23 seasons, seven World Series, and three MVPs… that’s what is shown in the video when it comes to his accomplishments.
He even lost two World Series… to the Giants!
Additionally, he had the “greatest comeback of all time” against Atlanta.
It was a very cool glimpse of what could have been.
Instead, he chose to make history in the NFL.
It’s hard to blame him, given the results.
