Topps turns Tulowitzki's pitcher pose into baseball card
It turns out Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Troy Tulowitzki didn't actually fool a photographer into thinking he was a pitcher Thursday, but the moment will now be part of baseball memorabilia history courtesy of Topps.
The company has created a baseball card of Tulowitzki posing as a pitcher during Blue Jays' photo day after footage of the event surfaced Thursday on Twitter.

Topps is selling the item for $9.99 and it's only available for a limited time.
Tulowitzki, a five-time All-Star, has never appeared at a position other than shortstop and designated hitter during his 12 years in the big leagues.
