Hillary, yer out! Obama scores! And McCain is on deck.
Upper Deck has unveiled a series of cards caricaturing the presidential candidates as ballplayers - including one that depicts Hillary Clinton lifting Barack Obama in celebration.
Perfect timing: Obama has clinched the Democratic Party nod, vanquishing Clinton, who has since endorsed him. Another card shows Obama sliding across home plate - à la Jackie Robinson when he stole home in the 1955 World Series against the Yanks. He's even wearing Robinson's No. 42 in Dodger Blue.
McCain? He's behind the plate, mimicking Yogi Berra's futile effort to tag out Robinson.
Random Presidential Predictor cards are to be inserted into packets of Upper Deck's 2008 regular baseball-card series.
