Did you know that there are actually entire luxury suites available for the biggest game of the year? I had no idea. And don’t worry if a the ‘dinner and a game for 20′ package is out of your price range. There are lots of other seats available, too. It’s a Valentine that he’d NEVER forget.

And for all those new grandparents, aunts and uncles – this is a great way to start the indoctrination early, especially if there’s a little intra-family fan rivalry to be nurtured!

Batman. Superman. Spider-Man. Transformers. Wonder Woman. Star Wars. Flash. Punisher. Green Lantern. Hulk. And more.

Stumped for an unusual Valentine? Why not show him he’s your Superman?  

And I guess that I really am.  I was raised by a die hard second generation Sox fan who had no doubt that his children would grow up to be die hard third generation Sox fans.  “No daughter of mine will ever set foot in Wrigley Field” was something I heard regularly from my father when I was growing up.  The burglar alarm code in our childhood home was “1959″.   Why?  Need you ask?  The year the Sox won the pennant!  In my adult life I have generally remained ignorant of the events of baseball season - with the single possible exception of the game schedule’s impact on traffic.  Until 2005, that is.  No, I am not a fair weather, jump on the bandwagon poser fan.  But I found myself inexplicably drawn to the Sox that summer.  By July, I was hooked.  By August, I was obsessed.  I knew all the players’ numbers and posiitions.  I watched every inning of every post season game. I screamed and yelled.  I jumped up and down.  Halfway through the playoffs, I lost my voice.  I rearranged all my televisions for the World Series.  I invited people over for nearly every game and served a full buffet of stadium foods every night.  I cried when they won.  World Series Champions.  I cried a lot.  I was a true Sox fan.

As all this was happening,  I kept making comments to myself like:  This is so weird.  Why are you so into this?  You hate sports on television.  And then – why are you crying? The morning after it was all over I understood why.  I found myself compelled to bring a pennant to the cemetery for my Dad.  And I wasn’t alone.  There were loads of other people there doing the same thing.  As I’m sure there are each fall, in the home town of the new World Champions.

I learned to love the Game that year.  I loved the Game for my Dad.  Because he didn’t get to see it.  I loved it the way he would have.  I loved it like it was in my blood.  Because it is.  Since then I find myself attracted to Sox memorabilia and logowear.  I used to think that kind of stuff was silly.  Now I get it.  It’s part of who I am.  It’s where I come from.  If you know someone who was raised in a family of fans and are stumped for a gift, consider the gift of childhood fandom. Coffee mugs and pens make great stocking stuffers and have the bonus of practicality. Many teams even offer licensed items featuring past logos, just like way back when… Tickets are a great choice, especially if you plan on going to the game, too. And especially if the team in question is doing well.  And even if the’re not.  Win or lose, what ever you choose, the gift of retro-fandom is sure to strike a sweet, nostalgic chord with the recipient.
