St. Louis Cardinals iPhone Wallpaper: Holliday & McGwire

An updated repost from September 2009 with Holliday & McGwire Images

The MLB postseason is now a few weeks away. The Cardinals have put themselves in a good position to excel too! The Cubs are almost 2 weeks worth of wins behind, and now ESPN is ranking Cardinals as the #2 team in baseball.

What does this all mean? It means it's BRAG TIME!!

I was on a search to find some cool St. Louis Cardinals iPhone wallpapers to flaunt my allegiance but came up empty. So, I created my own! I made 3, and you can have them too. Just click on the image to view the full-resolution version.  

(Note: Obviously these are free! All I asks is that you leave a comment below and tell me which one you download! I'd like to see which player is more popular.)


1. Old School: Stan Musial and Sportsman Park:

2. Retro School: Ozzie Smith and the old Busch Stadium:

3. New School: Albert Pujols and the new Busch Stadium:

 All of the dimensions should be correct. Your time and "unlock" bar will not cover the meat of the picture. Enjoy you're new background. And as always, GO CARDS!

(Note 2: If you want to save it to your iPod or iPhone visit this page with your device and the click/hold the image. A "save image" option will popup on your touch screen.)

Here are a few others:

Sample Home Screen

The 2010 Major League Baseball season is just about to begin. What better way to start it off than by putting the schedule on my iPhone. Instead of weeding through applications, I decided to put it on my home screen. I made one image for each of the months. And you can have them for free. All you have to do is download all of them all, and then switch them out each month from your Photo Album.

(Here are the ones I made last year)

To download them images, click on it for the full size view then right click and select "Save Image As". Or you can visit this site from your iPhone or iPod and click the image to see the full image. And then click and hold the image to save it.

Adoption Update

Over the past few weeks, Rachel and I have been reconsidering adopting from Mexico. The process seems to be taking in excess of 5 years, with the possibility of it all falling through. Last year alone, there were only 72 children adopted from Mexico by Americans. We're also finding that the only children available are typically around 6 years old. Our preferences in this adoption is to have a 1 to 4 year old boy, by time Ara starts Kindergarten (3 years).

Our preference is still to adopt from a Latin American country, though most of them are difficult processes (Mexico being the most difficult). But our number one goal is to provide a family for a boy in need, no matter where he comes from.

Our next step is to check into Children's Hope International and their Colombia adoption program. The good news is that all the work and money that we've done so far has not been wasted. That's why we need to make a decision soon. If we go much further in the Mexican process, and then decide to switch countries, we would have to start the whole process over, losing all of the time, documentations and money that we've invested so far. Right now all they would have to do is change the country name on the documents we've completed.

So, that's where we are today.
