Fantasy Camp

• Fantasy camps give your loved one the opportunity to live his dream.man throwing baseball image by sonya etchison from Fotolia.com
  
  For the high school baseball player who dreamed of going to the Major Leagues, a week at a fantasy camp with teams like the New York Yankees, New York Mets or Chicago Cubs would be a gift like no other. Priced at around $4,000-$5,000, depending on the team, fantasy camp fees often include airfare, 6 days of events, play and training, meals, uniforms and meet and greets, providing memories to last a lifetime. Meeting baseball heroes and playing with and against them is a pricey gift and must be scheduled well ahead of the fantasy camp season, but you'll be a hero to a real baseball fanatic when you present him with his ticket to the "big leagues."
  
  

Memorabilia

  Presenting a baseball fan with a memorabilia gift is a thoughtful way to support his obsession. Vintage, antique or signed baseball memorabilia will be a treasured gift for an enthusiast, whether it's a signed baseball card from the early 1930's, a vintage team jersey or a signed game ball. Focus your shopping efforts for memorabilia on the team or player your gift recipient favors the most, then begin searching for items through online auction sites and fan forums. When purchasing signed memorabilia, be sure to get official authenticity paperwork and preserve the item in a frame, envelope or case specifically designed for safe display of the gift.
  
  

Tickets

• Tickets to one game or many is a thoughtful way to treat a special person.red ticket image by Rick Sargeant from Fotolia.com
  
  There is nothing like seeing a baseball game live and tickets to your local stadium to support the team is a gift that builds memories. Whether it's season tickets in the bleachers, or box seats for the next home game, tickets for your friend and a guest will put a smile on your baseball fan's face. Perhaps he'll enjoy a hot dog from the vender in your honor.
  
  Make a ticket gift extra-special by buying tickets to an "away" game or to a game that features his favorite out-of-state team. Make the game a big event that will involves travel so that your friend or family member may experience a new town, a new stadium and a new baseball watching experience. Be sure to add some cash for parking, food and beverages to complete the gift.

  For the baseball fan that prefers to sit on the couch, a baseball-related movie or book might be in order. Movies like "Bull Durham," "Field of Dreams," or "Fever Pitch" will entertain the baseball fan all winter long while books like "The Bullpen Gospels: Major League Dreams of a Minor League Veteran" by Dirk Hayhurst or "Willie Mays: The Life, The Legend" by James S. Hirsch will inspire and delight throughout the year.
  
  For the gamer, baseball games for platforms like Playstation 3 and XBox put the gift recipient right on the field to test his skills against Major League players. Affordable for someone who already has the system, baseball video games like "Major League Baseball 2k10" cost about $50.00 and older games are even less expensive.
