The 2020 World Series kicked off tonight with… Tom Brady narrating the introduction to the series.
Why? Because he’s a longtime Tampa Bay legend and his Rays are playing the Dodgers (who he doesn’t like at all) in the World Series, duh.
I’m just kidding about the “longtime Tampa Bay legend” stuff so just calm down before heading to Twitter to yell at me.
Brady is the GOAT QB and he can apparently do whatever he pleases. The intro itself was pretty good, though it was weird to have him doing it and I’m a fan of Tom Brady.
Check it out:
I know what I’ll be watching tonight…and who I’ll be cheering for 😉. Let’s go @RaysBaseball…bring it home! pic.twitter.com/SLd0tmS7Z7

Sorry, I’m just going to say this — having Tom Brady do the intro leading into the World Series is just blech.

Nobody’s voice exudes the history of baseball quite like… *checks notes* Tom Brady?

Why the hell do you need Tom Brady to do a voice over at the start of the World Series?
