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.

There might be no greater way to go for a bike ride than by mapping out your favorite team’s logo and sticking to it on the ground.
This ride will only be worth it while the going is good. Giants fans should get out and be active. This World Series battle, which begins Wednesday night in San Francisco, could go the distance and be pretty stressful.
I think the headline says it all, so check out the video to see what I mean …
Everyone is crazy during the MLB post-season, especially the folks who rob banks and scream “Go Cards” on their way out.
Just 20 miles south of Busch Stadium, the Jason Motte look alike above showed his spirit for his hometown Cardinals as he committed a crime.
Only in October.
Giants pitcher Ryan Vogelsong led all players in Game 6 of the NLCS with 111 PTS in BUNT.
Vogelsong, who now has 1,604 PTS for the season, pitched seven innings, striking out 9 and allowing just 1 run.
His career-high day is still 147 PTS in a victory over the Athletics on May 19. He pitched seven innings of shutout ball and had five strikeouts.
So what if Brian Wilson hasn’t played in 2012 thanks to his second Tommy John Surgery, he’s still keeping occupied in the Giants dugout.
Using his teammates’ heads as drums, he nailed the timing of a song during Game 6 of the NLCS.
Here’s Brian Wilson being Brian Wilson …
Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., or Lil Wayne as you youngins know him, had the privilege of singing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” during Game 6 of the NLCS between San Francisco and St. Louis over the weekend.
So many things to say, so little time.
Watch and make your own judgements…
