Having watched my share of Tiger games last year, I can personally attest that there is "no way, no how" that the scene depicted on this Topps baseball card ALLEGEDLY of Edgar Renteria ever actually occurred.
I will concede that this does look like Edgar Renteria but there is no way that the "human statue" ever contorted his body in this manner to make a play like this. NO WAY DID THIS HAPPEN. San Francisco Giants fans can now back me up on this.
This is an imposter-type card similar to the 1969 Topps Aurelio Rodriguez/batboy card. This is the only possible explanation for the twilight zone type scene depicted on this card.
Topps, we are on to you!
Nice try, though.

he played really well when we had him... but then you tempted us with Jair Jurrjens and Gorkys Hernandez.... what did you expect us to do?
Obviously, you stole that trade from us and people around here are still complaining about that.
A few years ago, when TBS still had the Braves on our cable system, my now 12 year old boy and I would catch quite a few Braves games. My boy would refer to Andruw Jones and Edgar Renteria as "the fat guys". When later I told him that we traded Jurrjens to the Braves, he asked who we got in return and I told him that he did not want to know.
Seriously though, Renteria is a little strange in that he plays well in the National League (Cardinals, Braves) and not so well in the American League (Red Sox, Tigers).
