Drew Brees Sent Javier Baez A Gift For ‘Inspiring’ His Son

Well, you might not have expected to see retired QB Drew Brees and Cubs shortstop Javier Baez in the same headline today, but here ya go.

While Javier Baez was sitting out Monday night’s game against the Padres due to some nagging injuries, he still found a way to make news.

Baez took to his Instagram page to reveal that he had received a signed helmet from former New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees.

Javier Baez is part of a new, exciting wave of MLB players who aren’t afraid to let their swag out during a game.

While Baez may not hit for average, his electric style of playing defense, running the bases, and getting clutch hits has endeared him to fans all over the country.

Apparently, Drew Brees and his kids are some of many MLB fans who love to watch Javier Baez play baseball. Now that Brees is retired, maybe he can plan a Summer trip to Chicago so his boys can see Javy play in-person.
