2008 Topps

218 - Clint Hurdle MGR - Colorado Rockies |

234 - Boston Red Sox PSH, WS, VAR - Boston Red SoxVAR: Rudy Giuliani celebrating with team |
||
Rudy was running for president at the time of this card, and during the campaign he was known to have told reporters and supporters that he was a Red Sox fan despite being the Mayor of New York City for 7 years. Somehow, Topps found this to be a good gimmick card and so they printed this and a red variation. Given the political environment and housing market crash, one wouldn’t think Presidential Campaign cards would be in the works. But they did in releasing this one in the base set and a 16 card Insert set called Campaign 2008. It’s an interesting switch to baseball card collecting.

Anybody know why this card isn't listed in the "rookies" section of the set? An oversight or am I missing something? |

This isn't Callix Crabbe. It's Carlos Guevara, another rookie in the Padres system in 2008. |

517 - Bill Hall UER - Milwaukee BrewersUER: Photo actually Rickie Weeks |

Pretty sure the photo on this card is Rickie Weeks, you just can't see the '3' on his #23 uniform.
