Topps released the first series of its 2008 Baseball product in February, but it wasn't until today the the company revealed one of the cards in the product is an "April Fools" joke.

The set features a card of Kazuo “The Uzi” Uzuki, supposedly a Japanese high-school pitching phenom. What most people probably don't know is that, in Japanese, the name Kazuo Uzuki means “the first son of April," a tipoff to April Fool's Day.

Listed at only 5-foot-11 and 165 pounds, “The Uzi” was said to be known for his devastating 104 mile-per-hour fastball and was "on his way to becoming the first Japan-based high-schooler to jump straight to professional baseball in America."

With no way to verify the information from any reputable online source, many collectors had been questioning the authenticity of the card since it was released.
 
“The Uzi” rookie card is found approximately 1:72 packs of cards.
