Former Pro Bowl WR Golden Tate makes switch to baseball

Golden Tate hasn't played in the NFL since 2020.

So he's trying his hand at baseball.

The 11-year NFL veteran signed with the Washington-based Port Angeles Lefties of the West Coast League on Tuesday. The WCL announced the signing alongside a statement from Tate.

“I am extremely thankful to the West Coast League and the Port Angeles Lefties for allowing me to join their league," Tate said, per the statement. "As some might know, I was drafted twice in baseball. As a child, my first love was baseball, so I’m excited about the opportunity to compete against some of the best young players in the league.
