Hit Your Finances Out of the Park with Baseball Checks

By Alan Plastin


Baseball is a true American sport and tradition. There's nothing better on a summer day than getting your family together and heading outside, bats and gloves in tow. Or, how about catching a Major League Baseball game on television with a group of friends? Now, if you're a fan of the popular sport, you can personalize your bank checks this favorite American pastime.

Since the nineteenth century, baseball has been considered as American's national sport. The first official game was played on June 19, 1846 in Hoboken, New Jersey and even though today it is played everywhere from Cuba to Japan, it is still American at heart.

One of the many reasons that baseball has continuously been popular over the years is the fact that it is easily accessible to everyone. When it began as an official sport, race, class, and geography didn't matter. In fact, the majority of the baseball diamonds were situated in rural regions, allowing those who lived outside of the city limits a chance to play. The tickets were priced reasonably enough so that nearly everyone could afford to go and get good entertainment. Consequently, it became a sport that everyone could take pleasure in.

If you have an enthusiasm for Major League Baseball and have a beloved team that you want to support, you might want to consider using that team's likeness on your bank checks. Major League Baseball teams like the Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox, San Francisco Giants, Houston Astros, New York Yankees, and Philadelphia Phillies, as well as the other major teams, can all be found as images on bank checks.

If you're not into one team in particular and just love playing a good game of baseball, then you can also find checks that contain images of the game itself. One check series contains 4 rotating scenes of the sport, each one a photograph of the game being played. One image is of an umpire calling "safe", another of a player sliding into home, a third of a ball flying through the air, and the last image simply shows a worn glove.

There is also another popular series of checks that is simply comprised of close-up images of balls, bats, gloves, and the baseball diamond itself-the basics necessary to playing the game.

Complementing baseball accessories such as checkbook covers, address labels, and contact cards can also be obtained along with your baseball personal checks. You might be interested in a checkbook cover to keep your new baseball checks protected. While designs differ according to the company, a popular neutral checkbook cover is black leather and contains an embellished image of a baseball, two bats, and a diamond.

You don't have to worry about price when it comes to buying your baseball personal checks, either. Whereas it used to be costly to purchase bank checks from your local bank, and difficult to come across the images and designs that you wanted, it doesn't have to be that way anymore thanks to the internet. With several highly regarded websites, you are able to have access to hundreds of check images at 50% off the price that you might have paid in the past at your local bank.

When ordering your baseball checks online, you'll just need your checking account number and routing number. You can expect to have your checks in about 5 days. With that kind of convenience, you might never have to order checks from your bank again.
