Former Ohio State QB Braxton Miller burns Chicago Cubs’ Kyle Schwarber with T-shirt
Kyle Schwarber may be playing in the World Series, but he still can’t catch a break from his old nemesis Braxton Miller.
After an image of the Chicago Cubs left fielder whiffing on Miller during a high school playoff game went viral, the former Ohio State quarterback decided to capitalize.

As Eleven Warriors pointed out Saturday morning, Miller is selling a T-shirt with the image and the caption, “I made Kyle choose baseball.” It’s priced at $19.85 on his website.
The photo appears to be from Schwarber’s final football game, a 21-0 loss to Miller’s Huber Heights Wayne squad in 2010. Schwarber played for Middletown High School alongside another former Buckeye, Jalin Marshall.
Schwarber was a pretty accomplished high school player in his own right, making all-state as a linebacker his senior year.
But, based on this one snapshot and Schwarber’s accomplishments since, it’s safe to say Schwarber made a good choice.
