Braxton Miller: ‘I made Kyle Schwarber choose baseball’

Houston Texans wide receiver Braxton Miller is now taking credit for Kyle Schwarber’s decision to pursue baseball.

Former Ohio State quarterback, Braxton Miller, has decided to create a T-shirt featuring the caption “I made Kyle choose baseball.” The photo is Miller, back in high school, avoiding a diving Kyle Schwarber, who was a linebacker at a rival school.

The photo and T-shirt have since exploded and been shared all over social media. Miller has even taken the opportunity to post the photo to his Facebook page this week. Kyle Schwarber has headlined a number of news stories after his unbelievable return from an ACL injury. If interested in the T-shirt, it is available for purchase in a variety of sizes from Braxton Miller’s own online store.

Schwarber was injured back in early April and was declared out for the remainder of the 2016 MLB season. However, Schwarber returned to the lineup for the Chicago Cubs in Game 1 of the World Series against the Cleveland Indians. He appeared as a designated hitter in Game 1 and Game 2 and then pinch hit in Game 3. Schwarber has recorded three hits, two RBI, and four walks, which is remarkable given his injury.

The Cubs are down 2-1 in the World Series to the Cleveland Indians. Game 4 on Saturday night will feature John Lackey facing off against Corey Kluber at Wrigley Field.

Miller, now a wide receiver for the Houston Texans, hasn’t seen much playing time this season either. The 23-year old has five games played with five receptions on 11 targets for 34 yards. However, he was converted to a wide receiver after serving as the Ohio State quarterback from 2011 to 2013. He currently sits behind fellow receivers DeAndre Hopkins, Jaelen Strong, and Keith Mumphrey on the depth chart. The Texans (4-2) take on the Detroit Lions (4-3) early this Sunday.
