February is American Heart Month. As a nod to the Go Red for Women activities going on this month to help raise awareness, I thought I'd contribute several "red" themed posts sprinkled throughout the month.
Let's talk about this card...
Remember last time when I said I sometimes forget that AJ Pierzynski was on the Sox? Yeah. Edward Mujica was on the Sox for a season plus, coming out of the pen. He actually appeared in 75 games over those two years, so was used a lot. But, in the championship hangover, that season isn't one that sticks out in my memories...for any of the Sox players.
The card itself...I'll keep saying it. I like the Target Red parallels. I love the idea that every player, even Mujica, has a rare card to chase. Something that every collection can add to make it a bit more special. I will also keep saying that I wish the color red they chose didn't clash with the color red in the Sox logo. But, that's still ok. It's a fun card to have in my binder.

This month, and every month, if you are able please consider donating to American Heart Association and their Go Red For Women campaign.
"For 100 years the American Heart Association has been leading the fight to save lives from heart disease and stroke. We've invested more than $5 billion in heart and brain research, leading to the development of the artificial heart valve, the defibrillator, and even CPR.
Countless lives have been saved. But we are still losing someone every 34 seconds in this country to heart disease. It's the cause of death of 1 in 5 people - that's more than all forms of cancer combined. Chances are you or someone you love will be affected by this deadly disease."
