The 4th Annual Save Second Base Event Recap

I hope you all have enjoyed this year's month long tribute to pink baseball cards and that it grabbed your attention.

More importantly I want to thank everyone for their comments.  I was donating $1 for every nonspam comment made excluding those by myself for the month of October.

I haven't totalled everything yet, but I am certain we made the goal of $150 which is enough to provide a free mammogram to a woman.

Some people were very active this year and I will get some bonus prizes for the top 3 commenters throughout the month.

If you won a contest please EMAIL ME
bstryker81 @ gmail . com so I can confirm the prize packages and ship your cards.


For those that may have missed a post here is a recap of all the cards shown this year.
(I won't show all the lovely ladies again though.  You'll have to go back to see all those posts.)

Only 11 more months until next year when the event can grab your attention again.

That wraps up this year's event.

I can't believe we went through all month without showing off Hunter King.

Watch her scenes from Life in Pieces here.
You can thank me in the comments below.

We now return to regular scheduled programming, sorry...

I have some celebrities I am already planning to use next year along with about 10 cards ready to go already.

Here is a sneak peak at what I have planned for next year...
Shannon Elizabeth from American Pie will be on the agenda for sure

And I think Hayden Panattiere from Heroes fame should be revealed

I think Jennifer Lawrence should appear again, what do you think?

And of course there will be plenty more gorgeous celebrities from all different eras appearing...

it is going to be a fun month next year.

AND HERE IS THE #1 CARD ON MY WANT LIST I AM ON THE HUNT FOR

2013 Topps Chrome Pink Refractor /5


Who were some of your favorite celebrities I showed off this month?

Who do you want to see appear next year?

It's not my fault

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month.  Visit the official site here.

Breast Cancer will be detected in one of eight women in the US each year.

It is the second leading cause of cancer death among women each year.

On average every 2 minutes a woman will be diagnosed with breast cancer and every 13 minutes one person will die from breast cancer.

There are currently 33 million breast cancer survivors in the USA.

It's important to support the research for cancer.  Breast Cancer is often associated with the color pink so I will be showing off some pink Cutch cards.

In addition, you can expect to see some boobs with each post.  Who doesn't love boobs?

So let's start with what we're hoping to save!

Alexandra Daddario

A few days ago I listed Daddario as being one of the four women I would put on my Mt. Rushmore of hotness.

It seems fitting to show her off on WCW (woman crush Wednesday).

Her body is quite amazing, but what I can't stop looking at is those eyes tho...

The sexy star actress may be best known for her role in Percy Jackson, but has also appeared in horror movies like

Texas Chainsaw 3D

And Bereavement

She at one time was thought to be dating Baywatch costar Zac Efron.

Those rumors have been put to rest and is now rumored to be dating Justin Verlander's younger brother Ben.  The two met thanks to Kate Upton.

She also played a major role in the first season of True Detective.

Kate Upton might be the favorite among most men who actually watched The Layover, but there is no way I would turn down Alexandra.

Her appearance and personality really made the movie Burying The Ex more enjoyable.

She also starred in the movie San Andreas which takes place in San Francisco.

Panini has been releasing a chrome version of their Donruss brand each year.  The set is called Optic and while it doesn't have any logos it does feature some great Refractor style chrome cardboard.

This year's Optic has a much different back than the Donruss version. Cutch was traded during the off-season from Pittsburgh to San Francisco.  The back discusses how Cutch's new ballpark may play to his talent.

I think I will have to watch San Andreas.  Some scenes look appealing.

The same can be said for Baywatch.

For all the Yankees fans out there upset about their loss to,the hated Red Sox rival.  I was rooting for you. It's not my fault.
