PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Here’s one baseball card even the most avid collector probably doesn’t have: A Pope Francis rookie card. The Phillies are making them available at tonight’s game.
The Pope Francis rookie card has his picture on the front, and his “stats” on the back: Born in Buenos Aires, 266th Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, papal debut March 13, 2013.
The card is available tonight at the first and third base gates at Citizens Bank Park. But why a rookie card?
