Conflicted

Should Craig Wilson be engaging in such levity while mourning his team's dear, departed owner, August Busch Jr? Or more appropriately, shame on Topps for sending such a conflicting message. Juggling while wearing a black arm band? Kids looking at this card don't know whether to be happy or sad.

Perhaps it's a commentary on the complexity of life, the ups and downs, the yin and yang, the '52 Topps and the '91 Donruss. Maybe Topps is saying, "yeah, sure, he's young now, but his career will be dead soon."

But more likely, it's just a guy bored out of his skull during spring training. Apparently, he had a habit of doing this on baseball cards.
