Each year during the month of October, I show off only pink (and shades of pink like magenta, peach, etc) to help raise awareness of Breast Cancer, a leading cause of death for females in the United States.
Due to my own financial situation this year I will not be able to make a donation for each (meaningful, non spam) comment left by those that follow the blog. Once things settle down on the home front though I will be looking to make a donation in 2022 based on the comments left during this year's event. Hopefully together we can help at least one woman get a much needed mammogram. Early detection is key!!!
If you want to make your own private donation please visit the National Breast Cancer Foundation. There is a donate button on the main page and it only takes a minute of your time. Every little bit helps.
I have focused primarily on cards that only feature Andrew McCutchen on the card, but in recent years have also featured cards with a cameo appearance (either being seen on the card or as a name cameo on the back of the card). In 2019, I created Falco Files which discussed players that replaced (Shane Falco Replacements movie reference) on an active roster, number worn, or trade. I will also be showing some Cutch's Crew cards that show pink cards of players that have played with Cutch on multiple teams. I will continue to utilize these styles of posts as we celebrate the 5th Collecting Cutch Save Second Base event (I am no longer counting my first run on the Pirates Treasure Room I did back in 2014).
I am always looking for new ways to incorporate new celebrities into the event so today I am presenting
Emma Louise Jones
Despite what Google says about her, she is not a professional football player.
Which she made well aware via a tweet in 2020 when she attempted to kick some soccer ⚽ balls into targets. You can watch the video here.
The back of this 2021 Topps Inception magenta parallel (limited to 99 copies) discusses McCutchen's early high school success of being a football player

Do you watch soccer?
What is your favorite American Football team?
Manchester United, although I never get to watch a match, and, of course, the USA Soccer teams, especially the women.
ReplyDeleteI'm 51 years a hopeless Detroit Lions fan.
Good Job.✌
I've come to watch more soccer over the years, but it's still minor to me. I did go to a mall in the middle of the night in Singapore to watch the US play in the World Cup a few years ago--that's how big soccer is there, the mall stayed open multiple nights for people to watch the games in the wee hours. I'll watch some EPL games--I vaguely root for Burnley. I did catch a little of the US/Costa Rica game last night during breaks in the Rangers season opener.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of New York teams, I'll root for both the Giants and the Jets in the NFL, but a bit more the former. I'm not nearly as big a fan of those teams as I am of the Mets and Rangers, but I'll watch football on a Sunday if I'm home, and I usually am these days.
We've adopted Liverpool because my cousins in England root for them, but I only pay attention to soccer when it's World Cup time, and basically just watch the Spanish broadcasts for the goal celebrations :)
