Heh… That is kinda funny…
NEW YORK – Derek Jeter drew quite a crowd for this at-bat President Bush waving in the stands, Mickey Mantle studying from the dugout.
Made for a perfect picture on Jeter’s new baseball card. Of course, the game never happened.
Instead, this Topps triple play was just someone’s idea of a visual gag. It was a card trick — somebody at the company produced it through digital manipulation.
“We saw it in the final proof and we could have axed it,” Topps spokesman Clay Luraschi told The Associated Press on Tuesday. “But we decided to let it run, we wanted to print it. We thought it was hilarious.”
I don’t know if I agree with them keeping it in there, but it’s still pretty funny.
