Yankee Fan Rudy Giuliani Celebrates With Red Sox

NEW YORK (WBZ) ― It's a sight that may bring tears to the eyes of even the most die-hard Yankee fans: Rudy Giuliani celebrating the 2007 World Series win with the Red Sox.

That's exactly what they'll see when Topps baseball cards hit stores this week.

About one in every 70 packs will include a picture of the former New York City mayor, with his fist raised in victory, celebrating with the Red Sox on the field after their World Series win.

Looks funny huh? That's because it didn't really happen.

Besides being Mayor of New York City, Giuliani is a self-professed die-hard New York Yankees fan.

However last October while campaigning in New Hampshire, the then Republican Presidential Candidate told supporters he was rooting for the Red Sox against the Colorado Rockies in the World Series.

The comment irked many Yankees fans and gave the people at Topps an idea.

Clay Luraschi, the baseball brand manager at Topps, said they came up with the idea to put Giuliani in the championship dog pile.

Giuliani was not consulted about the new card.

Despite several attempts, Giuliani has not commented on the card.
