Scott Brown Using Baseball Cards As Campaign Tool

BOSTON (AP) -- Massachusetts U.S. Sen. Scott Brown has hit a new way to boost his fundraising -- baseball cards.

The cards show Brown raising a bat over his right shoulder and donning a Boston Red Sox baseball cap. They include the Republican senator's signature and are going for as little as $10 on his campaign website, which describes them as "a unique collectible for your home or office."

Brown's campaign is urging supporters to make a donation before the end of the next reporting period at the end of the day on Thursday.

The committee said it needs to raise more than $110,000 by then to match was has been spent on recent political ads criticizing Brown, who is up for reelection next year.

Brown has more than $8 million in his campaign account.
