Cardinals get World Series rings feathering 'rally squirrel' [View all]

The St. Louis Cardinals have immortalized the "rally squirrel" in 14 karat white gold.

The Cardinals' World Series rings feature 103 round diamonds and a "rally squirrel" atop home plate.


The Cardinals received their World Series rings before Saturday's game, and each ring includes the player's name, number and the years of the Cardinals' 10 previous championships.

They also include a tiny squirrel running across home plate.

In Game 4 of last year's NL Division Series, a squirrel darted across home plate during Skip Schumaker's at-bat -- and the Busch Stadium crowd went wild.

Cardinals fans adopted the critter's image throughout the playoffs, when it was seen on T-shirts, memorabilia and images on stadium screens.
