Uncustomed Heroes of 2015: Dodgers


Love this card. I know Yasiel Puig didn't have the greatest season, but his postseason stuff was enough to warrant a really nice custom here. Like Puig, the Dodgers weren't 100% perfect top to bottom, but they still did a lot right, and got some stuff done in October, too.

Brett Anderson had a nice comeback season in LA, becoming the third man in the rotation after it became clear that it wouldn't be Hyun-Jin Ryu this year, and did a pretty nice job of it, even staying sharp through the end of the season.

Scott Van Slyke, usually the fourth outfielder in LA, got a ton of playing time this year thanks to DL stints from Yasiel Puig, and he definitely made the most of it, getting some nice hits in there, and coming in the clutch whenever they needed him. Will probably of some use next season.

Coming Tomorrow- Spoiler alert, the Giants didn't win the World Series in 2015. But, here are one or two people who helped.

Custom Card of the Day: Van Slyke Edition


So a player originally discovered by one of the bigger cardbloggers finally gets to the bigs, and hits a game winning home run to break the game wide open and win. How do I NOT make a custom of that?

As we all may have heard, Scott Van Slyke hit his first homer last night, and whopped one for his first at bat, pinch hitting late in the game. And this is the same Scott Van Slyke that our own Night Owl basically said "This guy better be good, I have 5 million doubles of his BowChro card." And then Van Slyke, who actually IS related to Andy Van Slyke, blasts his home run, causing an "I told you so" post from Night Owl.

So before all the Dodger fans of mine (all one of you) could get the chance to say "please make a custom of this guy, he's awesome", I did.

I'll wait a little more before the next Dodger though.

Coming Tomorrow- in the process of making more. Probably Andy Pettite.
