It's been 10 years since our last holiday gift guide!
Here's an updated list of our best bets for the Cape League baseball fan in your life:
- Shop online at some of the team stores (not every team has a store):
- Chatham Anglers store
Don't miss the custom blanket and scarf. - Cotuit Kettleers store
The bobblehead player is my favorite! - Falmouth Commodores store
Buy this beautiful print of Guv Fuller Field and have it framed. - Harwich Mariners store
This store also features a couple CCBL hats. - Wareham Gatemen store
Quite a few new shirt designs, and more CCBL hats.
- Chatham Anglers store
- Buy a brick at Guv Fuller Field in Falmouth
This is a very cool gift for a Falmouth or big CCBL fan. - Donate to the CCBL or the team of your choice in the name of your loved one.
- A custom bat from the Barnstable Bat Company (just like the players use!). I recommend the stickball bat, which is a great substitute for the standard yellow wiffle ball bat.
- The 1998 Cape Cod Prospects baseball card set
This is my personal favorite baseball card set that I own. You can find the sets on eBay. - Browse capesports on eBay
The former Hyannis Sportscards in Hyannis continues to sell goods on eBay. There's always a few Cape League artifacts listed for sale. - Books or DVDs about the Cape League
There haven't been many recent books or movies, but there are a few classics below that every fan should own. Note: Slider (2004) is a novel loosely based on the league. Summer Catch (2001) is a really cheesy movie starring Freddie Prinze Jr. that is a highly inaccurate portrayal of the league (but I love it anyway).
