USAA and Strikeouts for Troops Team Up to Help U.S. Veterans

I first wrote about Strikeouts for Troops this past July and decided this is a topic worth promoting after receiving and email from John at USAA. I’m a big believer in doing as much as possible to help U.S. veterans and personally their needs are at the top of my non-profit causes. Presently I’m broke so for now I’ll blog, the fact that Strikeouts for Troops is promoted by Barry Zito and over 100 other major league baseball players makes it a natural fit for Bloop Single.

John is part of an advocacy team at USAA which specializes in insurance and financial services products for vets (John, feel free to comment if you’d like to add more) and he reached out to me to let me know about a special event they held called Patriot Day on September 11th. USAA matched $500 per strikeout thrown across all Major League Baseball Games that day.

The contributions from Strikeouts for Troops help wounded vets and their families. I know it’s late in the season but it’s never too late to help our vets so please check go to StrikeoutsForTroops.com, pick out your favorite Major League Baseball Player that participates and do what you can to help out.

New Era Las Vegas 51s Pop Color Hat

I’m I big fan of the Las Vegas 51s gear especially caps. Being a big baseball fan and science fiction fan I practically have no choice in the matter. It cracks me up that a professional baseball team feature little green men on their hat.

I was surfing the New Era site the other day and came across the Las Vegas 51s Pop color hat. Very cool with the black and green (as opposed to gray) LGM logo. I love fitted minor league baseball hats so this is on my way early holiday wish list.
