Giuliani Joins The Sox

Rudy Giuliani is finally going to get his heart's desire... he's going to be a part of the Boston Red Sox.

The folks at Topps baseball card company are making Mr. New Yorker the subject of a small practical joke following on the heels of his bandwagon jumping to the Sox during the 2007 World Series. Topps is issuing a very limited edition form of the Red Sox team card- which shows the Sox jumping around mid-celebration... but with a little something extra.

Per the New York Post:

Big Apple-based Topps designed the special card to promote the 2008 season collection - due in stores tomorrow.

"We read about Rudy rooting for the Red Sox and we thought - why not put him in the middle of the celebration," said Clay Luraschi, baseball brand manager for Topps.

At first I just skimmed the article, and came over here all freaked out...

...and then I read it again.

He is such a tool. TBF can give you 20 minutes straight, no prompting, on Giuliani and his goddamn Yankees hat and every time he shows up for playoffs at Shea he yells at him (from the mezz, of course, but it's all about the INTENT).

metsgrrl,

That sounds like me every time Mitt Romney talks about how much he just LOOOOOVES the Red Sox and puts on a jersey...

And then talks about the Patriots winning the World Series. (True story.)

I hate that guy so goddamn much. SO MUCH.

But in all fairness, given the kinds of things he says about his "home state", he appears to hate me too.
