Liz McGuire, the Blue Jays fan who was struck in the face with a 110 m.p.h. foul ball last week, has been pictured on a custom baseball trading card applauding her fandom to the game.
Images of the trading card have been posted to Twitter, formally known as X. In the post, Topps, a collectible card manufacturing company, says that they have “produced exactly 110 copies, and we’re gifting them all to @lizzzzzzzzzzy.”
“Liz, you’re a champ!”
The card includes the date of the incident – Friday, May 14, 2024 – McGuire’s name, and a blurb below that says “fan wears 110MPH foul ball like a champ.”
McGuire has since listed four of the baseball cards to Ebay, and has plans to donate some of the proceeds to Holland Bloorview pediatric hospital.
The cards range in cost, with two over US$1,000. McGuire has listed the cards for sale as bids, offering to autograph the cards by request.
They listings have already garnered over 1,800 views since being listed online within the last 24-hours.
“Hi all! After 100s of you asking. I’ve posted a limit number of cards to ebay. Partial proceedings will go to @HBKidsHospital … #topps #bluejays #mlb #tothecore #baseball #baseballcards,” she posted.
