Huge fan of all those playing for the love of the game.

Build-A-Bear Workshop: Curly Teddy in Boston Red Sox Uniform

First to recommend

Description

I would love to know what it feels like to don your brand, spanking new Sox uniform and approach the pitching mound in Fenway Park for the very first time. Since that isn't likely to happen in my lifetime (I'm a girl, for starters), I will await the rookie interview with up-and-coming pitcher Daniel Bard.

Oriental Trading Company: BAZOOKA Bubble Gum

First to recommend

Description

Do they supply the gum in the Kansas City Royals dugout ? I am sure that isn't the first question on rookie Henry Barrera's mind, but I do hope he gets a chance to find out all that and more this season.

Adidas: SLVR SLV DUFFEL

First to recommend

Description

Now here is a duffel worthy of the Majors: slick, sleek and streamlined. Short stop Tim Beckham may still have to carry his own bags, but this year he has a chance to do it in the company of the Tampa Bay Rays.

Little League Store: Coach Adjustable Cap

First to recommend

Description

Behind almost every Major League prospect is a Little League coach . . . and a lifelong fan. This spring, as a first baseman for the San Diego Padres, Kyle Blanks gets a chance to pay all that heart forward.

Pawtucket Red Sox: PawSox St. Patrick's Day Franchise Cap

First to recommend

Description

With only 6 hours of Major League time currently under his belt, pitcher Michael Bowden is still pretty green. But 2009 could be the year he retires his Pawtucket duds for good.

Pottery Barn Kids: National League Quilted Bedding

First to recommend

Description

With the Major Leagues no longer just a fantasy, Madison Bumgarner can probably safely retire his good luck sheets. But, for junior SF Giants fans, this bedroom set is a dream come true.

Description

Although the season has not yet officially started, 2009 baseball is alive and well and in training. As teams get the kinks out and rookies jockey for Major League positions, the fever builds. BOLO: Everth Cabrera, aspiring short stop for the San Diego Padres.

iTunes Store: Frank Sinatra - Ol' Blue Eyes Is Back

First to recommend

Description

Even Frank Sinatra had a soft spot for baseball, as you can hear on this recording of "There Used to Be a Ballpark." For rookie pitcher Trevor Cahill, that awesome ballpark is the Oakland-Alamdeda County Coliseum.

MLB Shop: Philadelphia Phillies Women's Mini Dog Tag by LogoArt

First to recommend

Description

I admire the courage of any baseball player who aims for the Majors, but particularly those who walk in the long shadow of World Series Champions. Such is the task before rookie pitcher Carlos Carrasco, as he strives for a place in the Phillies 2009 line-up.
