Skip Schumaker's New Topps Card Is Awesome
This is awesome. Remember the Rally Squirrel, who gained so much attention during last year's Cardinals playoff run?

Rally squirrel steals Cardinals Skip Schumaker's card
St. Louis Cardinals second baseman/outfielder Skip Schumaker had a decent showing in the Cardinals run to a World Series championship last season.

Cards' outfielder calls 'Rally Squirrel' card 'Ridiculous'
ST. LOUIS - Skip Schumaker was fine with the Rally Squirrel stealing his thunder during the playoffs. Doing it on a baseball card is a different story.
