We did it. We found something your mom can’t throw away. Topps BUNT is the exclusive digital trading card game of Major League Baseball.
It’s officially available in the App Store for the 2013 season now.
CLICK HERE to check it out in the App Store.
As we mentioned earlier in the baseball season, we have our own spin on the MLB post-season awards. We call them the BUNTY’s.
Ryan Braun is your 2012 Topps BUNT Player of the Year.
The Brewers didn’t make the playoffs and Braun didn’t lead his team to glory, but he did lead your Topps BUNT squads to the promise land if you had him for most of the 2012 season.
He finished with a season-high 2,748 PTS, the most by any player in the app. Braun also averaged 17 PTS per game and had a trade value of 126.
On the diamond, he hit 41 homers and had a .319 average. Even without playing in October, he held onto the PTS lead and never let up.
Oh, and if you’re wondering why we’re still giving out baseball awards, it’s because we want to keep BUNT and baseball relevant and in your head as much as possible in the off-season. The more baseball, the merrier. It will be spring 2013 before we know it.

We love Cy Young. I mean who doesn’t? But our top pitchers win the Old Hoss Radbourn Award. Charles was fierce and so is our 2012 AL winner … Justin Verlander of the Detroit Tigers.
Mr. Verlander finished with 2,539 PTS in BUNT, along with an 18-9 record and 2.70 ERA. His 251 strikeouts weren’t bad either. Verlander also added a season-high 153 PTS in an ALCS win over Oakland.

In taking a look at your World Champion San Francisco Giants, there are some obvious trends and a few BUNT tidbits you may not have been privy too until now.
This is the Topps BUNT spin on things.
San Francisco’s pitching anchored the team this year as evident by their fearless leader Matt Cain, who had a team-high 2,189 PTS in 2012. Ryan Vogelsong (1,660) and Madison Baumgarner (1,525) weren’t too shabby either.
Buster Posey, this year’s NL Batting Champion, was the highest offensive PTS producing player on the Giants with 2,142.
Pablo Sandoval, who put up 117 PTS in Game 1 of the World Series thanks to three home runs and a single, finished with 1,347 PTS this year and a World Series MVP for his Panda trophy case.
If you had any of those players your BUNT roster would have been decent, especially during the playoff crunch.

Here’s a look at his Series stretch:
Game 1: 4-for-4, three home runs and one single

Game 4: 1-for-5, single

If you own Pablo Sandoval in Topps BUNT, chances are you were gushing last night when you opened the app. Mr. Panda himself issued 117 PTS and catapulted the Giants to an 8-3 victory over Detroit in Game 1 of the World Series.
Sandoval’s night was historic for a number of reasons, but in the BUNT world he had a career-high evening, topping his previous high in PTS (66 in Sept.) and making his season average (7.5 PTS per game) look like a joke.
With three home runs, including two off Justin Verlander, and a single, Sandoval was 4-for-4.
BUNT Stats
Season total: 1,323
PTS trade value: 297
Ave PTS per game: 7.5
