The first thing I thought of when da Mudder asked for volunteers this week was "Put me in, Coach... I'm ready to play this game!" The baseball themed challenge reminded me of John Fogarty's sung here with Keith Urban.
This is Snoopy Dog John, #34 of the Elm Grove Eagles, telling Coach Sandy that he's ready to step up to the plate and bring some cheer to his team-mate Andrew, who is having a really tough time this summer. Andrew's whole team is represented by the Bad News Bassethounds at the tea party this week! You can read all about it here, and send a card to Andrew.
I altered a Snoopy golf image, replacing his club with a wooden bat sticker. Drew his baseball shirt and the eagle for his cap and cut out home plate. Popped it up on a watercolored background, sponged the edges and added a baseball glove sticker.

It's the Snoop-Snoop Dawg!!! Who doesn't love Snoopy, and how clever of you to replace his golf club with the baseball bat. Love the watercolored background, too. So cute, Hilda!
