Merry Christmas!

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas! I hope Santa brought you plenty of sports cards this year!

TTM: Sean Casey

Everyone knows that Sean Casey, aka "The Mayor", would engage fellow ballplayers in conversation. But legend has it that he would get offended if a player jolted for second in the middle of a conversation.

TTM: Lou Piniella

Lou Piniella not only managed the Reds to a 1990 World Series championship, but he also holds the record for distance in throwing second base.

TTM: Brandon Phillips

In my opinion, the greatest second baseman to play for the Reds, those who are interested can also follow Brandon Phillips on twitter at DatDudeBP.

TTM: Dave Parker

Who needs Kung Fu Panda when you have Dave Parker...The Cobra!

And the winner is...

There were a total of eight entries for the Holiday Cheer Giveaway I was hosting on my blog. I would like to thank all the participants. I randomized the list eight times to give everyone an equal opportunity to claim the cards. I've posted the rankings from 3 to 1 below. So, without further ado...

Congrats to Hackenbush! Please send me your address and I'll get those cards out to you. Thanks again everyone and have a Merry Christmas!

TTM: Bill Bonham

I did not know that Bill Bonham shares a major league record (with 49 other pitchers) of striking out four batters in the same inning.
