2014 Spirit Base Series 1: 101-110

#101 - Jonathan Villar
On MLB: The Show 13, I played a franchise as the Astros for a few years and got really frustrated by Villar. He kept teetering on the edge of potential but could never really make an impact, even on a crappy team with lots of playing time. We'll see if he can do better in real life.

#102 - Alex Gordon
Anytime I can use a semi-close up of something "unusual" happening, I'm gonna. I'm already struggling to keep things from getting stale and redundant. So here's a goofy shot of Gordon tossing his plate armor off.

#103 - Garrett Richards
This image would be perfect for a Panini release. Shouldn't be too hard to airbrush the sleeve and cap logos off.

#104 - Adrian Gonzalez
I always thought Gonzalez was kind of bland and mild-mannered. But going through the photo options, there seems to be a lot of images where he's pointing or gesticulating or something. I guess it's the Dodger Way.

#105 - Adeiny Hechavarria
I'm starting to realize I should have switched the blue and orange colors for the Marlins template. There's basically zero blue represented on their uniforms and it really clashes with the design.

#106 - Scooter Gennett
SCOOTER!

#107 - Chris Parmelee
The Twins roster is filled with guys of which I have absolutely no knowledge. Sorry, Twins fans.

#108 - Travis d'Arnaud
Too bad this name font doesn't have any lowercase characters for the stencil style. It's really bugging me to see that capital D there.

#109 - C.C. Sabathia
Sabahtia's pretzel limbs are just too weird not to share with the world. Cropping his lower body probably adds to the confusion as well. Awesome.

#110 - Eric Sogard
Is this Sogard? Or Orel Hershiser wearing a crappy disguise out on the diamond?

2014 Spirit Base Series 1: 51-60

#51 John Mayberry
I wasn't sure whether to add the 'Jr.' or not but decided on leaving it off.

#52 Starling Marte
Any chance I get to show a non-collision play at the plate, I'm gonna take advantage.

#53 Joe Kelly
I hope Joe Kelly sticks around with those glasses. This generation needs a Chris Sabo. (By the way, I had those exact same goggles as a kid.) Also, those St. Louis alternate jerseys are cool but would make more sense on the road than at home, no?

#54 Eric Stults
Man, the Padres' uniforms are dull.

#55 Brandon Crawford
Just trying to get everyone aware that Brandon Crawford = excellent glove work.

#56 Michael Saunders
I know you've probably seen better Saunders' catches on cardboard but I like how calm and routine he makes this running catch look.

#57 Desmond Jennings
I love the Rays light blue jerseys. They add personality to the rest of their bland visual identity.

#58 Derek Holland
Holland, 1945

#59 Melky Cabrera
Oh, Melky. You were so much fun on the Giants in 2012. The Melkmen. Trollface. All those hits. Why'd you have to go and ruin it? Granted, it was all (obviously) too good to be true. But that sure was some blissful ignorance.

#60 Bryce Harper
It's strange how Harper has pretty much lived up to the hype thus far but he's still overshadowed by Mike Trout and now Yasiel Puig. Strangely, it's made him a little more likable for me.
