Drew Brees on growing up with baseball and the MLB legend who inspired him to wear No. 9

Drew Brees, Super Bowl-winning quarterback for the New Orleans Saints, never intended to play football.
"I played baseball in high school, and in fact, I always thought baseball was going to be my path. I always hoped it would be. But football kind of made its way into the picture," he said before playing in the All-Star Legends and Celebrity Softball Game on Sunday. 
And even though that turned out pretty well for Brees, a part of baseball stayed with him:
"Ted Williams was always my guy. Purest hitter of all time, the Splendid Splinter … That's why I wear the No. 9, actually, is because of Ted Williams."
