I don't like this at all. Obviously he's a quarterback and not baseball player. I know he was drafted and everything, but after he signed with the Seahawks and started playing don't release a baseball card of him. Looks like they are just trying to capitalize on his fame now. No problem with a card released when he played minor league ball, but no reason to have one now. He's been in NFL for few years now.

What's the Rangers connection? Sorry if that's a dumb question

He never played any game for the Rangers or any affiliate of theirs. Having him in a Rangers uniform is stupid. He played all of his 93 minor league games under Rockies teams.

Since when has that ever stopped a card manufacturer?

I don't think BG would have made this card.

Odds of a similar Kaepernick pretty high then? Just seems like this would make more sense as a base Topps SP with other former athletes or first pitch subjects than being in a Bowman product years after his actual draft having never been an MLB vet
Honesty is the best policy... I might have... But, not in a rangers jersey (maybe I would have airbrushed on an m's jersey)..
Or done a photo shoot and had him do the Bo knows pose.... BG

I could see if they made a card with a Mariners uniform of when he threw out the first pitch. I think that would be cool. Usually if a card pictures a player in a new uniform, it's the update/traded set and they will be playing for them the following season. I don't see Russell dropping his pads to play for the Rangers.

If you were to hazard a guess, why do you think Texas drafted him?
Answer: marketing the same reason Topps is putting him in a set.

Bo card would be sweet. My issue with the card is the Rangers uniform. Leave him in whatever uniform he was wearing and put a label that says Claimed by Rangers or something like they used to.

That card was released before his NFL career started. It is a 1982 TCMA issue. Can't remember if he had made a decision either way at that point.
And I agree it is a money/attention grabber idea, nothing more.
