Upper Deck pulls 'Hillary-Morganna' card

[Oeditpus Rex]

The cards (sprinkled through the regular baseball card set at a ratio of one per every eight packs) feature a caricature of each presidential candidate in a baseball role. Mitt Romney, for example, is seen as Carlton Fisk, waving his famous home run just past the foul pole in the 1975 World Series.

"The others were all male," Melia said. "Hillary, being the only female in the lineup, we were reaching for comparisons to make."

Well, they could've made her one of the professional women ballplayers honored in the movie, "A League of Their Own."

Instead they made her Morganna, "The Kissing Bandit."
