“He’s rounding second at full speed. It looks like he’s going to try to stretch it to a triple.  He must be crazy.  There’s no way he’ll beat that throw.  The center fielder collects the ball and comes up firing.  What a ‘rope’.  Here’s the play…Rose dives head first with his arms and hands stretched as far as they can go…Safe! Safe! He beat the throw.  What an amazing slide!”

If you love baseball like I do, you’ve seen something like this over and over again by famous baseball legend Pete Rose.  I’m sure the head first dive in to a base had been done before.  But no one did it quite like “Mr. Hustle” - hence the name “The Pete Rose Slide”.  What a perfect photo Christmas card to highlight your little “Mr. or Miss Hustle”.

I personally think photo Christmas cards have a chip on their shoulder - they all seem to look very similar with the family pose and the holiday wreath border.  I think a photo Christmas card of your child, or even a major leaguer, would make a great change in scenery for this years card.  Talk about giving it your best this holiday season.  A Pete Rose Slide pose is a perfect representation of being all you can be throughout the entire year.

I love baseball.  I love how it doesn’t require the huge physique or the blazing speed.  People can learn a lot about their character by playing a sport like “America’s Pastime”, and they can tie that in perfectly to their photo Christmas cards.
