Topps Puts Giuliani In Red Sox WS Celebration

One of the cards in Topps upcoming 2008 series -- a shot of the Red Sox's on-field celebration after clinching the World Series last October -- features an unexpected participant: Rudy Giuliani.

You may recall Rudy pledging his loyalty to the Red Sox last fall, as soon as his Chokers were sent packing by Cleveland. Topps manager Clay Luraschi: "We thought it would make for a funny card, since the Red Sox won. We thought, let's put him in the championship dog pile."

An abomination.

I don't think it's very funny having Rudes in that.

No turncoat will taint our beloved Sox.

It fits Rudi's M.O.

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Disgusting.

Well, at least he's not getting anywhere near the white house.

This started last year with Bush on the Jeter card. I think with that one they didn't announce it and just let people discover it.

At least if Rudy was in a dress, the card would have been arguably kinda funny. And kids who get the card won't get it at all. Embarrassingly dumb stunt.

If it bugs Rudy even a little, it's worth it.

I want one of these.

"Matsuzaka, meanwhile, has turned his Mohawk from last season into something of a mullet. It's definitely a party in the back."
