Did the Royals Rub it In?

I was making Topps style playoff cards for most of the post-season, but didn't get around to completing the World Series cards until a few days after the series ended. When I finally got around to making one of those standard winning-team-celebrates cards

I came across these pictures during my search for a suitable photo:

That can't be coincidental, right? The Royals set up on top of the Mets on-deck circle logo, with the WS trophy, and deliberately spread out around the logo so that it would be visible for the assembled photographers. They rubbed it in, no?


Here's the whole WS set, including some before-the-presses-stopped cards.

I also noticed this and the photographer, as soon as I find out who took the pics, is my new offseason nemesis.

Not surprised. You have a knack for getting the pictures at the instant they're posted to the web. That Royal in the foreground still in his game jersey -- what is that around his neck: Bob Dylan's harmonica?

The term "Classless fucks" comes to mind.

lol, goggles.

I think it's time for the annual CPF eye exam and an early Happy Thanksgiving message.

Hell, I don't have a problem with this. They won in New York.

I DID have a problem with them pouring out of the dugout every time they scored a run, though.
