Donnie Baseball is connected to the Nova Corps

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!

Mikaela Hoover

I first noticed Ms. Hoover in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

She served as the Assistant to Nova Prime.
She also appeared in 2 Broke Girls as the character Jessica.
She was a scene stealer.

Hoover may be relatively new to the silver screen for being a 34 year old, but the 1984 born actress appears to be setting herself up for more success in the future.
For baseball card collectors, the year 1984 was significant because there was a hot young rookie playing 1st Base for the New York Yankees that was labeled as a future Hall of Famer after only one season.

Unfortunately for Donnie Baseball, his prime years were cut short with many injuries that forced him to retire years before expected.

Baseball fans were reminded of that classic 1984 Donruss design this year when Panini issued retro designed cards in the Donruss set.  In addition to many other parallels there was a pink ribbon Mother's Day version numbered to only 25 copies.


The backs look exactly like the 1984 backs.

WHO WILL WIN THE WORLD SERIES?
Will the National League continue their even year magic and have the Dodgers claim the top prize?
Cubs-2016
Giants-2014, 2012, 2010
Phillies-2008
Cardinals-2006

Or will the Red Sox prove that it's silly to be superstitious and be the first American League team to win the World Series since.....the 2004 Red Sox?

  2. Oh wait - I was being snarky. You are talking even year winners.

    I need more sleep. And a beer.
