Former NFL quarterback Tom Brady’s baseball recently sold for $158,600 at an online auction through the site Goldin.
Yes, you read that correctly, arguably the greatest quarterback in NFL history’s baseball card sold for six figures despite the fact that he never played a single second of professional baseball.
Brady played catcher back when he was in high school and he was drafted by the Montreal Expos -now Washington Nationals- but choose to accept the football scholarship he was offered by the Michigan Wolverines instead.
The front of the card featured Brady wearing an Expos uniform and pounding his hand into a catcher’s mitt with a small smile across his face, while the back features his scouting report.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion recently appeared in an advertisement that poked fun at the hypnotical universe of if Brady had chosen to pursue a baseball career rather than a football one.
In the opening scene of the ad Expos fans sitting in a Montreal sports bar reminisced of Brady’s glory days with the team.

Fans recalled how Brady won three MVP awards, had seven World Series victories, made 650 homeruns and kept the franchise in Montreal as the cameras panned through newspaper cutouts, signed memorabilia and trophies as relics of his incredible tenure.
Hall of Famers and former Expos stars Larry Walker, Pedro Martinez and Vladimir Guerrero were also featured reminiscing about Brady’s greatness.
In the alternative universe, the Trio reacted to a car commercial starring Brady and scoffed about his two losses to the Giants.
The bit referred to Brady’s Super Bowl losses to the New York Giants in 2008 and 2012. But in this case, Brady let his fanbase down in two World Series meetings against the San Francisco-based MLB team.

The clip ends with Brady’s alarm clock ringing at 12:12, in reference to Brady Day, as the retired quarterback wakes up from the dream.
It is then followed by a shot of Brady’s Expos card with the words ‘What might have been could be yours’ on the right side.
Brady is far from the only successful NFL QB to have been selected in the MLB Draft and choose a career on the gridiron rather than the diamond.
Dante Culpepper, Colin Kaepernick, and most recently Florida State transfer quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei were drafted by MLB teams but instead decided to keep their talents on the football field.
