Here are three very cool, very unusual gifts that any baseball fan will flip over. Don’t you love how it feels when someone gets that happy little smirk and says, Remember when you bought me that ... These gifts can make it happen again this year
One secret of a great gift is, ‘something you’d never buy for yourself’ right? Well here’s one that your baseball fan might not shop for, but he or she will never forget: a reproduction of Lou Gehrig’s actual baseball glove. You don’t have to be a Yankee fan to appreciate the “Iron Horse.” This .340 lifetime hitter is remembered as much for his humility on and off the field as for his 2,130 consecutive games. The Akadema company has done the baseball world a favor by reproducing the 1920's Ken-Wel model 632 buckle back mitt that Lou wore. Great to display in a sports collection or office.
Another key to a great gift is, “something you can show off.” How about a miniature replica of the Ken-Wel 632? The size makes it perfect to use as an absolutely unique business card holder, so it can be admired every working day.
Finally, how about a gift that will provide hours of nostalgia? A reproduction of the JC Higgins model 1639 baseball glove worn by Bob Feller will fit that bill. Not only is it a tribute to a great pitcher, but for many baby boomers, the 1639 will look like the first mitt they ever owned.
