Contest time!

I haven't done a contest in a really long time. A few years, to be exact.

I also haven't done a sketch card in awhile. By no means am I the best artist out there, but I do enjoy doing a sketch card from time to time, and have done some for a few bloggers out there. I have found that I'm a bit more motivated when doing one for someone else, so that's where you come in.

The contest prize? A sketchcard of the player of your choosing!

To enter, all you have to do is:
1. Follow my blog (most of you already do).
2. Comment on which player you'd choose if you win.

That's it. No additional entry opportunities. No pimping needed (although I won't say no if you want to share the contest on your blog or on Twitter). Just one simple follow and one simple comment, and you're in! Contest entries close at midnight PT on Friday 6/20.

Here are a few sketch cards I've done in the past to show what yours might look like:

    I'm following. Tough call on the subject. I think I'd make it artist's choice from among Koufax, Valenzuela, Hershiser and Kershaw. Thanks for the contest! Cool stuff.

    I'm in . I already thought I was following .now it's official. I would probably be hard pressed to get a Sox card out of a Yankee fan. Pedroia would be my choice. Seconded by Big Papi

    I'm following now. I'm really impressed with the sketch cards that you've done. I'd choose R.A. Dickey if I win.

    I suppose I should say Yasiel Puig and save you the work.

    But I think I'll go with Dee Gordon, on the bases.

    I'll stick with my favorite decade (the 80's) and ask for Dave Stieb.

    If you could capture Will Clark's sweet swing that would awesome.

  16. FujiJune 18, 2014 at 12:51 AM

    Not sure if I qualify... since you've already created a sketch card for me. But if I do, there's not a doubt in my mind: Tony Gwynn.

  17. UnknownJune 18, 2014 at 2:35 AM

    Oh, that's an easy choice. John Smoltz.

    It is hard picking a single Dodger to feature on a sketch card, especially with the great history in LA and Brooklyn. But, I'm gonna have to go with my boy, Matt Kemp.

    Thanks for the awesome contest!

    Cool contest! I would have to select a sketch card of The Captain, David Wright.

  20. The Junior JunkieJune 18, 2014 at 9:57 AM

    Obviously, I would choose Bryan Clutterbuck.

    Seriously, tho. Bryan Clutterbuck.

    Hard to pick as I want the player to sign it as well. Decisions Decisions.
    Ill let you pick but would like either Hyun-Jin Ryu or Clayton Kershaw in Bowman Chrome border as I see you can do that. I am a terrible artist so this would be cool for me.
    I pimped the contest as well.

    Can I cheat and say a dual Kemp and Kershaw? Haha, I might actually go hockey though and say Ryan Getzlaf.

  31. Ryan GJune 19, 2014 at 10:56 AM

    Like Greg, I'd love to have a multi-player card.. but like Fuji I'll only ask for Tony Gwynn.

  32. Tony L.June 19, 2014 at 11:34 AM

    I'm in -- what a cool idea too. I'd like a Robin Yount sketch card to match up with the one that I got from the Baseball Card Breakdown!

  33. CommishbobJune 19, 2014 at 12:04 PM

    If I win I'd request Dennis Martinez. I already follow (I think...... you are on my bloglist sidebar if that's what that means).
