Find This Baseball Cross Stitch Model

I bought this book of National League logo cross-stitch patterns (featuring the Expos logo and the Astros’ dome logo!! So excited to embroider those on everything I own) in a fit of I-just-got-my-tax-return-back-ness the other night, but I have a lot of questions for this guy. Like,

1. Is there whiskey in that coke?
2. Did you make the Phillies hat, Dodgers polo, Mets’ ashtray (?), and Giants’ baseball-stuff-holder-for-the-wall, or did your wife make them all and give them to you? If the former, cool. Really. If the latter, how come she’s not in the picture, huh?
3. How did you come to be a fan of all of those teams?
4. Where did you get those jeans?
5. Can I have some popcorn?
6. How about that butterscotch, grandma?
7. Did you feel like you looked silly in that hat, and that’s why you’re not wearing it? I can relate to that. I always buy hats but I think I look dumb in them. Regardless, it’s a cool hat. It reminds me of my softball team when I was eight because we were the Phillies and our outfits were maroon.
8. What were you about to say?
9. Isn’t that actually a softball back there? Really, dude?
10. Where do you get your hair cut?

If anyone can track this guy down and ask him these questions for me, I will sew the logo of their favorite NL team onto anything they own.

    The idea of being able to stub out cigarettes on a Mets logo is almost appealing enough to make me start smoking again.

    This dude is really confused. Dodgers and Giants. Mets and Phillies. That chair.

    Also, he has a handful of popcorn, but it appears as if none has been taken from the bowl. I’d like to think its a self-refilling bowl. Maybe.

    I’m expecting a related post from Carson Cistulli later today claiming that he has been able to track down and interview this “guy.”

    Pretty sure his wife washed those jeans with one of those stone-wash kits you could buy in the late 80′s…and that is a Fantastic Sam’s haircut if I have ever seen one!

    His name is Carl Sanderson from Roseburg, Oregon.

    1)yes. Jim Beam.
    2) wife made them. she was massaging his feet ala Rex Ryan when the picture was taken.
    3) He’s from Oregon, and duh, they have no pro MLB team. He.s an east coast guy from south Jersey who liked the Mets and Phillies, but roots for Cali teams now, to fit in.
    4) JCPenny
    5) Yes. but I put cayenne pepper on it.
    6) its stuck to the buttom of her purse
    7) My hair is cooler than the hat. I also had a maroon little league uni.
    8) My life is radical dude! The chick rubbing my feet made me this shit!
    9) Its actually a dinisaur egg that I stole from the set of “Who’s Harry Crumb?”.
    10) Sportcuts, where else?!

    Since, its National league only, Ill have the NEW Marlins logo, please. Oh, what… its not in your book? Ill take the Dodgers on my Skidz Pants. Thank you.

    No comment on the tuck job, really? That shirt must have been tucked in after he sat down, and probably immediately before the picture was taken. Look how tautly it stretches from shoulders to belt!
