Somewhere in Seattle right now, a lifelong Seattle sports fan just stared into the middle distance and whispered, “Why is he in my baseball timeline?”
Yes, Tom Brady ended up in a photo op with Cal “Big Dumper” Raleigh, and it’s the kind of cross-sport mashup that makes your brain do the buffering circle. The internet-fueled moment came out of Brady’s CardVault scene, where he and Raleigh swapped signed jerseys. Brady was tossing footballs into the crowd, signing autographs, and even ripping open a pack of 2000 Playoff Contenders chasing one of his own iconic rookie autos, because apparently retirement is just “side quests” now.
