At a Schnuck's near St. Louis...

I found these: http://star.walagata.com/w/orual/ecksos.bmp

 

Yes, David Eckstein is now a breakfast cereal. Photoshop at will, though just the fact that such a cereal is in existance is funny enough, at least, in my mind.

That's because they can relate to Eckstein. They see him and 5' 7" of glory and say "He's my size, I can be him".

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I'm buying some if I can find them.

Feel free to distribute them to suspect Cub players.

Oh boy...you just can't make this up.

I kinda did a double take when I saw them, stacked in a nice cereal box pyramid at the front of the store. One of those "What the..." moments. Then I made my dad buy a box. He was rather embaressed to be buying David Eckstein cereal, or maybe it was just me. Who knows.

From the same company that brought you John Elway's Comeback Crunch, Flutie Flakes and Flutie Flakes Super Charged comes EcksO's, a honey nut toasted oat cereal named for Cardinals shortstop David Eckstein. PLB Sports has the cereal available for order on its Web site (plbsports.com), and already Jim Edmonds had a box at his locker in the Cardinals' clubhouse. On the box, Eckstein said, is information designed to raise awareness of organ donation.

Is he wearing an Angels uni on the box?

[sunnydoo]

Someone ship a case to the DBacks in care of Johhny Estrada. I am sure he would be thrilled to know that secret.

Is he wearing an Angels uni on the box?

He sure is

That makes it even funnier.

[Outshined_One]

I never did find a box of Flutie Flakes. :(

I thinkg the left-side pic is a cards uni, not sure about the swinging pic.

I'm guessing it's just a generic uni since they would have to get permission to use either Angels or Cards gear. It doesn't look anything like either if you ask me.

you see the generic uniforms all the time for this kind of thing...they typically just use a similar color scheme to the players current team.
