One of the NFL’s legends, Tom Brady, could’ve seen a different athletic future. If only he had chosen to answer a certain fated call. A recent video surfaced reminding his fans of just that. Why is it sending the entire MLB into a massive frenzy over a missed chance of clinching California Cool?

Collectibles Megalith Topps recently released an advertisement that shows what would’ve ensued had Brady given into his baseball future. Yes, you read it right! The favorite football star was once all set to enter the realms of the MLB. Imagine what would’ve happened if he ruled the diamonds the same way he ruled the gridirons! Speaking about what-ifs, his prospective baseball past needs to be discussed in detail to understand the immensity of the ad.

What is this new MLB hullabaloo surrounding Tom Brady?

Topps made two different sports meld into one by releasing a Montreal Expos card featuring Tom Brady. The advertisement they released shows what baseball Brady would’ve looked like. The legendary quarterback shared it on his Twitter account. In the dream-sequence video, he was seen boasting about the fortune he had amassed in MLB.

According to CNBC, this signifies a throwback to Brady’s ‘95 draft, where the Expos picked the star in the eighteenth round. Everybody around the football and baseball realm has been celebrating the rookie card release ever since. Even the Hall of Fame was involved in the celebration, per reports.

The people at Cooperstown reportedly released a plaque with his name. As fate would have it, Brady is well on his way to ensuring Hall of Fame recognition in Canton, Ohio. Now, coming to the thing that started it all—what do the cards bring to the tables of the collectors?

Diving deeper into the deck of Brady cards

The CEO of Fanatics, Mike Mahan, revealed to CNBC that the 2023 Bowman Draft set will come with 162 different cards for Tom Brady.
