Carded - for Baseball?

Are  the Rays ahead of  the Red Sox?  I mean, today?  Even though the Red Sox team is apparently having a good year, these rankings seem to turn on a dime.  I hear this from the male half of my marriage who keeps me up to date.  Lately American soccer fans were a-screamin' on television, but I think baseball can still elicit an exciting response.  I wonder if people who  looooove baseball still collect cards?  You can read about the phenomenon in two excellent books:
