School colored cleats and sleeves. $35 wooden bat, pine tar, PG Hat, and Oakley's I found at a massively discounted price.
Tanner tee, small foam roller, new water bottle, swag from college he'll attend next fall, and some non-baseball stuff.
He needs a new bat but supposedly a former teammate at a D1 is giving him one of his extras.
A trip to Cancun...

Agreed! If we skipped out on that check, we'd all be hanging out in Cancun!
(First day of practice is 1/27.)
Nikon Monarch 3 4x16 BDC scope. And a pair of rubber boots.
Cf Zen and a 20ga O/U
Baseball hats for all the teams we plan to see at their home ballparks this summer. Kind of represents a ticket to those games as well...
A Great Dane
AS System 7 gear...better than Xbox games. Wife gets her dream vacation to the exotic lands of Aberdeen MD and Cooperstown, NY.
Several things on the list and the wife is managing that but i recall one being a Hi Res camera to shoot videos. Sports Comm Major, minoring in Film Studies as a fall back to baseball. I guess it always good to have that backup plan.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone.
Set of Callaway clubs.

A few weeks before my daughter headed off for freshman year I told her to come out to the driveway and see my new Ferrari. She looked in the driveway and asked where. I responded, "I forgot. It would be there except I'm paying for four years of college."
My daughter was wise to the comment. She responded, "Come on dad! I'm on a 75% ride. But I get the point."
Now that both my kids are out of grad school and have great paying jobs I'm waiting to see what I get for Christmas.

Probably 25% of a Hot Wheels Ferrari....
Custom Golf clubs to fit his 6'8" Frame. He does not want to borrow from team members anymore for the annual fall; "Fund Raiser" Golf Outing !!
Each kid (2) will get their own .22 cal 1911 and enough tannerite to blow up a small office building (they already have the rifles).
I need a couple partners to pound the dueling tree against me...lol
Powercore 360 Baseball strength/conditioning system and Mizuno 12.75" Global Elite glove
Only thing the kid asked for was a set of weighted balls from driveline. He's getting some more stuff but definitely got of easy this year lol.

Must be a pitcher !
New glove and some good noise canceling earphones for all the bus rides in college !
A bunch of "normal" clothes, sweat pants, slippers for the apartment, more golf swag now that he is a PO and doesn't have to worry about his swing. He wanted a English Bulldog, but we told him that could be a grad gift in a couple of years. A puppy while he is travelling every other weekend this spring, and will be gone all summer........KIDS!!!!!!!!!!! Should have a class called common sense as opposed to Anatomy.
