Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Troy Tulowitzki had a little fun during his spring training photo shoot on Thursday when he was asked to pose as pitcher.
He totally looked the part and, lucky for us, Topps joined in on the fun and made the photo into a limited-edition baseball card.
Tulowitzki’s media day hijinks (apparently, the photographer was totally in on the joke) got some air time on Baseball Twitter.
The photographer thinks Tulo is a pitcher??!! Tulo doesn’t correct him and obliges..shhhhhhhhhh #PhotoDay pic.twitter.com/3GlKtmDZPY

Any chance Tulowitzki takes some notes from Russell Martin for next year’s pose? We sure hope so.
