In the latest MLB promotion news, the Philadelphia Phillies are honoring Pope Francis with his own BASEBALL CARD. The Pope is now on a baseball card with his name in a logo-esque font.
The Phillies put the Pope on a baseball card
From the looks of this photo, it looks like the Phillie Phanatic already has his copy:

— NBCSN (@NBCSN) September 15, 2015 Not sure why it’s a rookie card, although it’s technically correct since he has never played in the MLB. Also, it’s not clear whether or not the Pope’s stats are on the back of the card, or what those may be...
If you’re at the game Wednesday, you can pick up a commemorative card and you are encouraged to follow all coverage on the Pope, per the Phillies’ site!!
Bless your heart, baseball.
