Topps has released a new baseball card featuring a squirrel that made an appearance at a recent Yankees game. The squirrel charmed fans and even had a staredown with pitcher Max Fried. The critter's antics were captured on video and the card has been christened a Yankee by Topps. Fried described the encounter as "strange but all in good fun."

This is not the first or even the second card baseball to feature a squirrel in recent history. It is the first one released by Topps since 2019. Going back to 2007 there have been four previous Topps cards to feature squirrels. The two most recent cards were also from Topps now sets. In 2019 Topps released a Now card of the Twins Rally Squirrel that celebrated the squirrel that made a dash onto the field prior to an 11 run comeback. Unlike the previous squirrel who crashed MLB games, this squirrel’s appearance didn’t lead to a rally for the featured team. The Yankees went on to lose the game he appeared in 1-0 and then followed that up by getting wrecked by the Sox in a 12-1 loss in the game that followed.
