Setting the Stage
Decorate your home with paraphernalia from your Dad's favorite baseball team, either past or present. You can use pennants, posters of his favorite players, baseball caps, or tee shirts.
Check out the schedule for his team and plan your entertaining to coincide with that. Make sure your television is in perfect working order!
Set up a comfy chair in front of the television just for him. Position a table next to it for his snacks. Set up other chairs in the room for anyone else joining in the celebration.
Dig out his old mitt and baseball. Plan to play a game of catch with him after the game, just like you did as a kid.
The Perfect Gift
Tickets to the next home game of his favorite team are the perfect gift. Toss in a package of baseball cards just for fun.
