"Hit the bull, win a steak" now has a baseball card.
Topps released the final checklist for 2017 Topps Pro Debut on Wednesday and the first card release of the year for Minor League Baseball includes some surprises thanks to a set of Relics that have included some unusual pieces of memorabilia in past years.
The "Fragments of the Farm" are no different this year and one includes a piece of the game that's paid off for some players in the past.
The real-world Durham Bulls sign that was made famous in Bull Durham (clip above, some language) and became reality after the film -- though visiting players no longer get the bonus -- now has a card.
Game-used based, pitcher's mounds, tickets, dugout padding, banners, mascot uniforms, mascot tails, tarps and even a Deuce the Mascot game-used dog collar make the set this year.
These won't be the only weird cards spotlighting the quirks of baseball life down on the farm as there will be Promo Night Uniform Relics and a set called "Ben's Biz" that add some oddities in there. That last set includes "The Crazy Hot Dog Vendor" along with "Toastman," Paul "Super Churros Man" Cerda and some others you might not know but should. Why? Why not?
If that's not enough for you, there's even a Tim Tebow sighting along with autographs of several top prospects.
