If you're like me you tend to relate everything back to baseball cards. So I'm going to start a binder of Every Day's a Holiday Cards. I'm going to try to find a trading card that relates in some way to the holiday. I'll post what I have on the day and if you know of any cards that would work please let me know.

I don't have anything for yesterday or today, but I do have some cards in mind for other days this month.

  1. This sounds like a fun project - I love those quirky, weird holidays and using them as fodder for blog posts.

  2. For the 55mph day you might consider someone who occasionally threw a very slow ball, like Dave LaRoche or El Duque.

    1. Yeah, I'll have to check card backs to see if there is any mention about a 55 mph pitch.

  3. Thank goodness 55 MPH Speed Limit Day is almost over! I'm counting down the days to Chocolate Cake Day.

    1. In addition to the Chocolate Cake Day there are many other "Chocolate" Days throughout the year.
