An ALCS Gift Basket

I know the team has been hard at work getting ready for their marquee matchup against the Tribe tonight, so I wanted to put together a little (virtual) something to help them get through the series. Of course, I’m not just going to create a boring old gift basket with smelly cheese or crappy chocolate or lame bath salts… I’m putting together something very special with our guys in mind.
Anyone have anything they want to add?
You’re the breast.
And you remembered a cribbage board for Tito and Dustin.
Of course- cribbage for Pedro and Tito, Scrabble for Papelbon.
Sock monkey to amuse Manny in the dugout.
Take away the Bud Light and substitute Sam Adams, then you’re set :)
The choice of Bud Light was a special homage to our closer’s celebration headgear.
*Empty Water Bottles for any sort of 4th inning rally drumlines that they feel like forming(latest Boston Herald article talks about it)
*Irish stepdancing shoes(just in case)
*Pants….because you never know when Papelbon will forget to put them on
These are all excellent ideas. I’ll be adding them all to the gift basket soon.
Fantastic idea you have here! How thoughtful =) I’m sure they’ll love it! I wish I could think of something to add.
the only thing I’d add for Josh would be hunting gear or the 10 pt deerhead for the wall of the clubhouse
Brilliant! Maybe add a pair of goggles, for the celebration sure to come?
Perhaps an eyepatch for whoever is playing pirate in the bullpen :)
Some more excellent suggestions. After last night, I think I’ll post an updated basket for them on their road trip to Cleveland.
