Cards’ World Series rings feature ‘rally squirrel’

Hokey smoke!

The St. Louis Cardinals have immortalized the “rally squirrel” in 14 karat white gold.

The Cardinals received their World Series rings before Saturday’s game, and each ring includes the player’s name, number and the years of the Cardinals’ 10 previous championships.

They also include a tiny squirrel running across home plate.

In Game 4 of last year’s NL Division Series, a squirrel darted across home plate during Skip Schumaker’s at-bat—and the Busch Stadium crowd went wild.

Cardinals fans adopted the critter’s image throughout the playoffs, when it was seen on T-shirts, memorabilia and images on stadium screens.

Earlier this year, a short-printed variant of Schumaker’s Topps baseball card focused on the squirrel.

I see no squirrel. Is this like one of those Magic Eye things?

It's above home plate and below the big StL.

Is white gold the biggest scam to come from the Gem Shopping Network? We report, you decide.

That's it? I thought they were trying to make it look like a Highway 50 sign for some reason and that was the crest.
