Fathers Day gift ideas

16 May 2009
Because it's just around the corner, I thought I'd share a few gems that I found online to make the perfect Phillies-related Father's Day gift! Enjoy!

1) That Larry Bowa batting practice jersey he's had his eye on
What better way to say "Thanks, Dad!" than with the autograph of an underachiever! This jersey was probably the one he threw at the wall after his firing in 2004. Fortunately for you, someone came along and decided it might be worth something if signed! How much could it be worth, though? For you, only $350! Check out this post on GameUsedForum.com for more information. Sorry, all Antonio Alfonseca game-used jerseys are sold out.
2) State-of-the-art and officially licensed, a Phillies propane tank cover!
Yes, he already has the grill cover, but no backyard barbecue would be complete without this pinstriped beauty! For only $19.99, you get a weather-proof, mildew-resistant beauty of a propane tank cover. You can be sure that Dad already has this on his MLBShop.com wishlist, so buy it now! Also, he may hide it in the bushes like they have done in the above photo. This should not be cause for alarm; he really does love it!

3) Billy Wagner MLB Series #11 action figure!
Dad's probably forgotten the pain and anguish that Wagner put him through in 2004 and 2005, right? Well, not anymore! As the website states, "Series 11 features a host of Major League Baseball's best athletes," and Wagner fits that description perfectly. Feel the power of all 21 of his saves from 2004 in the lifelike recreation of his perfect pitching form! As you pay $17 for this collectible, you can enjoy that you (unlike the Phillies) didn't spend $17 million on the real thing! Look out for the accompanying Adam Eaton action figure.
