MLB Shop: Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Authentic Home Jersey
1 recommendation
"Just as he was beginning to live his dream and hours after pitching a splendid game, Angels rookie Nick Adenhart lost his life in a tragic accident early Thursday morning, April 9, 2009. As T.S. Eliot wrote in his poem The Waste Land, "April is the cruellest month . . I had not thought death had undone so many . . . " Angels number 34: Nick Adenhart. A legend at 22."

"Dreaming is so underrated. And this book explains exactly why you should never give up your dream, whether it is to play baseball to find the love of your life or to finally make it out of that cubicle."
Amazon: Bob Feller's Little Blue Book of Baseball Wisdom by Bob Feller, Foreword by Ralph Kiner
1 recommendation
"This swell little guide provides nuggets of wisdom that apply not just to the Major League players, or even to baseball as a sport, but to life in general. An upbeat, heartfelt accounting of what makes a good person truly great . . . and a great read for starting a new season of life."
Barnes and Noble: Baseball America 2009 Prospect Handbook
1 recommendation
"Last night's defeat of the Philadelphia Phillies by the Atlanta Braves is proof positive that a new baseball season has begun . . . with new players, new contenders and a fresh batch of rising stars. Catch them while you can ! This handy dandy guide will give you some clues as to where to look, but all new faces on the field represent new possibilities for making and breaking records, hearts and..."
Barnes and Noble: As They See 'Em - A Fan's Travels in the Land of Umpires by Bruce Weber
1 recommendation
"I have to admire anyone who has the guts to stand behind home plate . . . batter, catcher or umpire. And, in the particular case of umpires, the rewards are few and far between. No high fives. No pats on the back. Not even time off for good behavior. As Bruce Weber calls it, umpires are perhaps the most underrated and underpaid . . . yet tremendously loyal fans of the sport. Here's to true b..."
MLB Shop: Boston Red Sox Chin Music Track Jacket by Nike
1 recommendation
"He may be a non-roster invitee, but Daniel Bard has already demonstrated his Major League prowess. Not only has he shown consistency in his pitching, he also has blazing speed: his pitches have been clocked at speeds in excess of 100 mph. Clearly, he is ready to make a big bang at Fenway."
MLB Shop: Boston Red Sox Shamrock Clean Up Adjustable Cap
1 recommendation
"Put those rally caps on, Sox fans ! It's time for the wearing of the green ! While some members of Red Sox Nation may be missing Manny in 2009, let's think about the abundance of gold at the end of the Sox rainbow, including Jonathan Papelbon, Jason Bay, Kevin Youkilis, Josh Beckett, Jacoby Ellsbury, Dustin Pedroia, Jason Varitek, Mike Lowell, Julio Lugo and (my triple B: baseball boyfriend) Jon ..."
Fan's Edge: Washington Nationals Red Alternate Authentic On-Field Fitted Hat by 59FIFTY
1 recommendation
"Although the Washington Nationals have had not had much time in the limelight, the change in the political climate may auger well for their performance in 2009. As perhaps will the arrival of right-handed rookie pitcher Terrell Young, Number 51."
Fan's Edge: Baltimore Orioles Pair of Cufflinks
1 recommendation
"Rookie catcher Matt Wieters hasn't quite gotten his MLB wings yet, still lingering on the NRI list for the Baltimore Orioles. But a few sports journalists are favoring him to win ROY, so be on the lookout . . ."
MLB Shop: St. Louis Cardinals Chin Music Track Jacket by Nike
1 recommendation
"Be a sharp-dressed fan in this Nike track jacket . . . and be on the lookout for rookie third baseman Brett Wallace, who currently sits on the NRI list for the Saint Louis Cardinals."
Louisville Slugger: Pro Stock Wood Baseball Bats
1 recommendation
"Rookie third baseman Angel Villalona is currently on reserve, last playing for the Azucareros del Este in Winter League of Dominican Baseball. Only 18 years old, Villalona has already shown so much potential. I cannot wait to see him swing away at the Show in 2009."
MLB Shop: Boston Red Sox Fenway Park Wall Mural (4' x 6') by Sky Box Sport Scenes
1 recommendation
"Most of us can only dream of stepping on to the Fenway field, much less actually playing for the Sox. Lucky rookie outfielder Jonathan Van Every can now do both. But thanks to the rapid development of graphic design, we wee fans can bask in a bit of the glory, falling asleep beneath a photographic reproduction of Fenway. Sweet dreams, Red Sox Nation . . ."
Best Buy: MLB 09 - The Show - PlayStation 3
1 recommendation
"Rookie third baseman Danny Valencia is currently on the NRI list for the Minnesota Twins, but he can bide his time and gain some pointers by playing the latest MLB game from PlayStation 3: MLB 09 - The Show. Not quite as good as being there, but don't stop believing . . ."
Barnes and Noble: Casey Back at Bat by Dan Gutman
1 recommendation
"Anyone who has ever listened to the original poem "Casey at the Bat" (written by Ernest Lawrence Thayer, circa 1888) will appreciate the never-say-die attitude of this sequel by Dan Gutman. And it might provide a much-needed dose of confidence for rookie pitcher Merkin Valdez who has just joined an impressive array of talent in the San Francisco Giants bullpen."
Paragon Sports: Bangerz Baseball Sunglasses
1 recommendation
"Rookie pitcher Chris Tillman may still be a non-roster invitee of the Baltimore Orioles, but I bet he already has his bags packed. Here is one more item to add to his gear: a pair of slick, shatterproof shades."
Paragon Sports: Baseball Coaches Clipboard by Franklin Sports
1 recommendation
"This clipboard is just the ticket for the armchair umpires in your home. Although the catcher (i.e. rookie Taylor Teagarden of the Texas Rangers) often calls the pitches, the umpire calls the balls, strikes, outs and foul play."
The President's Challenge: Adult Fitness Test
1 recommendation
"Spring is the perfect time to start (or re-start) a fitness program, whether you are a weekend warrior, a daily walker or a professional athlete. There's always room for improvement. Just ask rookie right fielder Mike Stanton, who, as an NRI (non-roster invitee) of the Florida Marlins, will have to work hard for the right to play with in the pro's this baseball season."
iTunes Store: The Hollywood Edge Sound Effects Library - Sports Baseball Sound Effects
1 recommendation
"Travis Snider, rookie right fielder for the Toronto Blue Jays, probably listens to something other than baseball sound effects during the off-season. But for all you amateur videographers and You Tube addicts, this is the perfect accompaniment to your baseball footage - Little League, Minor League, Major League or otherwise."
MLB Shop: Colorado Rockies Newborn Mascot Creeper by Pine Sports
1 recommendation
"There are baseball rookies . . . and then there are human rookies. And who says fans are not born ? Rookie outfielder Seth Smith will, I am sure, welcome all the fan attention he can get in his freshman year with the Colorado Rockies."
Nike: Women's Mexico T-Shirt
1 recommendation
"Last seen playing with the Mayos de Navajoa, rookie outfielder Jordan Schafer may be seen playing with the Atlanta Braves during the upcoming season. Be on the lookout, amigos."
Fastball Fanatics: Nike Cactus League White 2009 Spring Training T-shirt
1 recommendation
"Once spring training is over, the San Francisco Giants will return to AT&T Park as part of the western division of the National League, bringing rookie third baseman Pablo Sandoval into their fold. Until then, they are enjoying some sun and fun a little bit of practice as members of the Cactus League."
Fathead: Florida Marlins DreamSeat Recliner
1 recommendation
"Not quite as good as being in the stands, but this glorious chair comes complete with not one, but two cup holders . . . ensuring that you never need leave your seat for the duration of the game. And with rookie first baseman Gaby Sanchez added to the line-up, the Marlins have an exciting year ahead."
MLB Shop: Chicago Cubs Ticket Archive by That's My Ticket
1 recommendation
"This Cubbies album enables you to put all of your ticket stubs (up to 96) in one safe place, ensuring that you will remember at least the basic details of every game you attended at Wrigley Field. And this year, the Cubs have added rookie pitcher Jeff Samardzija to the line-up. Be on the lookout, whether you watch the games up close and personal, catch it on television or listen to the radio cov..."
adidas: Men's Phenom Lightning
1 recommendation
"Floating in the ether somewhere between the Minor League Nashville Sounds and the Major League Milwaukee Brewers is rookie catcher Vinny Rottino. He's been caught on camera wearing a Brewers jersey, but at the moment is considered an NRI (non-roster invitee.) Go for the Show !"
Reebok: Men's SmoothFit SelectRide Sneakers
1 recommendation
"Many Major League ball players have been taking their level of fitness a bit more seriously this season, changing their diets and adding cardio to their routines. Whether it has anything to do with all of the controversy surrounding the use of steroids or not, this is definitely a positive trend. And rookie pitcher Sergio Romo will need to keep himself in top condition, as he will be sharing the..."
Fathead: Chicago White Sox Logo
1 recommendation
"Trick out your bedroom, living room, maybe even your fridge with an-impossible-to-miss sign of your MLB allegiance. And be on the lookout for rookie pitcher Clayton Richard, joining the 2009 Sox bullpen."
Portland Beavers Store: On Field Fitted Road Cap by New Era
1 recommendation
"Rookie pitcher Chad Reineke was promoted to the San Diego Padres and then sent all the way back to the Triple-A Portland Beavers. Not that there is anything wrong with Triple-A, but I'm sure Reineke is eager for another go at the Show. (Point of interest: the Portland Beavers' home stadium, PGE Park, will host the 2009 Triple-A All-Star Game.)"
MLB Shop: Oakland Athletics Track Jacket
1 recommendation
"The beginning of the MLB season can be pretty chilly in many ballparks . . . and Oakland is no exception. Although rookie catcher Landon Powell will probably be feeling the heat behind the plate as he strives to prove he is more than worth his recent Major League upgrade."
MLB Shop: San Jose Giants Replica Home Jersey
1 recommendation
"Although spring training isn't over yet and anything can happen, any time, during the regular season, catcher Buster Posey is still on the San Jose Giants roster. The San Francisco Giants are biding their time, trying to decide whether he has the skill depth necessary to handle the variety of pitches he'll have to field from Major League pitchers."
