A Tribute to Sports Legends

Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd;
Buy me some senioritis sports legends packs,
I don't care if I never get back...

Afternoon everyone, we just wanted to share a sneak peek of our newest offering that's in the works: Senioritis Remembers Sports Legends.

Senioritis Remembers Sports Legends will be based on our late 1800s-early 1900s tobacco card inspired designs and will pay tribute to famous sports legends. The prints will measure roughly the size of a postcard and will have a great vintage look to them. Along with a distressed feel these prints will also sport rounded corners similar to trading cards of yesteryear. The postcard prints will be offered in sets of 4 and will come in packaging similar to our Famous Seniors magnets.

We're still working on tweaking the designs a bit but offerings should be available in the next couple of weeks, just in time for the holidays. Here's some of the designs and a preview of the packaging:













These postcard prints will be sure to bring a smile to any sports fan's face; trade them, collect them, but most importantly enjoy them!

Yankee Doodle Went To Town, Riding On A Pinstriped Pony

What better way to celebrate the 4th than by spending it at Yankee Stadium?

Not only was yesterday a celebratory day for our nation but it was also a celebratory date in Yankee history. July 4th is Yankees owner George Steinbrenner's birthday as well as the date that Lou Gehrig gave his famous "Luckiest Man on Earth" speech.

Upon entering the Stadium you are immediately greeted by large banners paying tribute to Yankees legends. Although I had been to the new stadium a couple of times last season I hadn't had a chance to check out the Yankees Museum until yesterday. Very cool stuff, I mean how often do you get to see a Babe Ruth signed baseball?

Yesterday's starter Phil Hughes will soon be attending his first Major League All-Star game. His pitching was Wonderphil and I thought the comic inspired artwork was pretty sweet as well.



The stadium is a cool blend of past and present, paying tribute to Yankee greats while a Hard Rock Cafe inside the stadium and a collection of flat screen plasma tvs in the bleacher walls reminds you that you're in a state of the art entertainment facility.

Despite a shaky start, falling behind early, the Yankees were able to pull out a close game in extra innings. The most exciting play of the game may have been an inside the park homerun off the bat of outfielder Brett Gardner; all I can say is man that dude is fast!



At the end of the day the hero was pinch hitter Marcus Thames. Fresh off the disabled list, Thames hit a game winning single in the bottom of the 10th inning.

Great weather, good food, and a Yankees win; what better way to spend the 4th?

We hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th of July. Happy Independence Day!
