Washington Nationals: Tom Brady almost played here

In an alternate universe this weekend, Matt Wieters is quarterbacking the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII while we remember Washington Nationals catcher Tom Brady’s recent retirement.

Far-fetched? Sure. We have no idea if Wieters is capable of quarterbacking in the National Football League. However, we know the Montreal Expos thought highly of Brady.

To the point they drafted him straight out of Junipero Serra High in San Mateo in the 18th round of the 1995 MLB Draft. The catcher was the 507th overall selection. Michael Barrett and Brian Schneider, in case you are wondering, were two players selected be the Expos that year who played in over 1000 MLB games.
