It's about damn time: Jobu is getting his own baseball card.

The five Topps Major League cards that arrived in 2014 Topps Archives last week are getting the jumbo treatment with a little help from their little voodoo idol as Topps is offering a 5-by-7 set of the cards online via Topps.com. 

The six-card set will be available for a limited time and arrive in a wax pack befitting the baseball card style of 25 years ago when the hit baseball movie arrived.

The barriers to entry are very real, but in a business dominated by one, giant manufacturer, Phoenix Bats—a small baseball lumber company located in mid-Ohio—looks to turn the tide.

The batter’s box is a lonely place. Baseball is a team sport, but when a hitter digs in at the plate, he is preparing himself for a split-second duel with another man some 60 feet away. Wits and confidence refined by hours upon hours in the cage are adequate weapons to be sure, but when a nasty four-seamer comes screaming towards him, a hitter’s only real friend—and most lethal weapon—is his bat. If he can’t trust his bat, then he’s already lost the battle.
