2018 Holiday Gift Guide

It's December, and it’s time for an updated holiday gift guide!

Here are some gift ideas for Cape League fans:

  • Shop online at the league or a team store (not every team has an online store)

  • Donate to the CCBL or the team of your choice in the name of a loved one.

  • A custom bat from the Barnstable Bat Company (just like the players use!). I recommend the stickball bat, which is an excellent replacement for the standard yellow wiffle ball bat. Place all Christmas orders by December 10th!

  • The 1998 Cape Cod Prospects baseball card set
    This is my 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
    The young adult novel Widball came out this year (read our interview with the author). Note: Slider (2004) is a novel loosely based on the league. Summer Catch (2001) is a cheesy movie starring Freddie Prinze Jr. that is a highly inaccurate portrayal of the league (but I love it anyway).
