Drew Brees and his kids are having a fun Sunday in Baton Rouge as the future Hall of Fame quarterback took to Alex Box Stadium to throw the first pitch of the LSU Tigers baseball game with the Georgia Bulldogs. Before the game, he took to LSU’s huddle to deliver one of his famous speeches that we saw every Sunday before New Orleans Saints games. The Tigers players were left plenty fired up, as they headed into the rubber match of the weekend, figuring out who would win the series.
The after-effects of Brees’ speech were clearly felt as LSU’s leadoff hitter, star centerfielder Dylan Crews, hit a 433-foot home run off of the top of the scoreboard in the team’s first at-bat of the day. See for yourself:

Brees also ran into someone he had never met before, but certainly looked familiar. Arizona Wildcats transfer-turned-LSU star switch hitter Jacob Berry has been told all season that he looks just like a younger version of Brees. This theory has now been proven as the two took a picture together, and it’s hard to miss the comparison:
