All About That Base Blanket: Baseball Fans' Throw

All About That Base Blanket shows a playful baseball pun over a ball stitched in red, and the words read the way a fan would say them. The line plays on the base a runner races for, so you feel the joke as soon as you see it. It suits the parent in the bleachers, the player who never leaves the field, and anyone whose weekends run on a diamond.

Artwork and lettering

The large cream baseball sits at the center, with red stitching curving down both sides and a teal ring around its edge. The printed words All About That Base run across it in black script and block letters, with a red heart above the word All. Around the ball, the border is a grid of red squares. Inside them you find a pitcher mid-throw, a batter in a swing, a catcher crouched low, and crossed bats with a ball between them. Thin wooden bats frame the corners, and baseballs repeat along the teal edge. The result looks like a quilt built out of the sport, each square a different moment from the game.

Made for this crowd

You will notice the scoreboard-style grid first, then the pun in the middle. Families who spend spring evenings at practice will see their own season in it, and so will the teenager who pitches in the afternoon. The pun also lands for the coach, the umpire's friend, and the fan who knows the difference between a base hit and a double. Use the All About That Base Blanket on the couch after a late game, or bring it to a tailgate and drape it over the cooler. It is the kind of throw that gets picked up before anyone asks whose it is.

Moments it suits

This throw works well as a gift for a Little League graduate, a player heading to a new school team, or a parent who has driven to every practice. Give it on Opening Day, after a championship game, or at a season banquet where everyone gets a memento. It also fits a quiet night when the game is on the radio and you want something warm to hold.
