However, the bull mascot from the movie is not the actual mascot of my favorite minor league team. Instead, it is the awesome Wool E Bull.
While I am sure that many of the other minor league mascots are excellent, I am pretty sure that Wool E Bull is a good enough mascot to hang in the Majors. I know that he's better several of the Major League mascots that I have seen during my time traveling to Major League parks. Rosie Red? Please. Slider. Terrible. Homer looks like Mr. Met. I might even put Wool E Bull ahead of Fredbird. When I saw that Topps was putting mascot cards in their Pro Debut set I was positive that they would have Wool E Bull in the set.

Sure enough Wool E Bull landed in the Mascots set. The center of the card is a fabric material with a picture printed on it. The bull is raised slightly on the card giving it a feeling of being embossed. It's a beautiful and well designed card, but a definite knock off of the college mascot cards that Upper Deck put out earlier this year.

Love me some Bull Durham! Kudos to both Topps & UD for these creative insert sets.
