It’s spring – and that means MLB Opening Day! This year the party kicks off on Thursday March 31 for a few lucky teams. Here in Colorado we open on Friday (April Fools Day – hopefully the joke will be on Arizona), but at least that gives us all weekend to party!

At any rate, in honor of opening day, I’ve been searching for best gifts for men who love baseball.

Obviously, any rabid fan has a few jerseys and shirts, hats, jackets and all the basic MLB fan gear. But I wanted to look beyond the basics – and here are this year’s most unique MLB gifts:

MLB Lawn Logo Stencil – Great Gift or Practical Joke?

In just 10 minutes, you can deck your lawn out with your favorite MLB team’s logo! ey’ll bring you and your favorite team luck! Yep, just tack the reusable stencil down and spray paint away – next thing you know you’ll have a 52″ tall stencil painted on your yard. The stencil should stay in place until you mow again.

Not only does this make a great gift for the ultimate fan, I think it would also be a marvelous April Fool’s trick or practical joke to play. Imagine waking up one morning to find that a friend or neighborhood has stenciled your rival team’s logo on your yard! (Not that I’m recommending that you do this – I’m pretty sure there are laws against spray painting your neighbor’s yard. Check with your legal department before you do this.)

Anyway, you can find Lawn Logo Stencils at FansEdge.com for around $80.

MLB Schedule Watch – The Entire MLB Schedule on Your Wrist!

With so many people relying on their cell phones to keep time these days, wrist watches are not nearly as popular as in the old (pre-cell phone) days. This MLB Schedule Watch is cool enough to change that statistic.

First, the watch just looks cool with a small team logo on the watch face and the team colors on the outside of the face. But the best part is what’s inside! The watch comes loaded with the entire MLB schedule. So if you want to know when any team is playing, just scroll through the display. You can look at both future schedules, or past schedules. Great for settling arguments at the office or the bar!

But it gets even better! Whenever your favorite team starts a game, the MLB schedule watch plays “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” as a not-so-subtle reminder to head to the stadium or turn on your TV, radio, or computer.

And no need to worry about next year’s schedule. The watch comes with a nifty USB cable that hooks up to your computer so you can update next year’s MLB schedule as well.

For around $110, this watch is the perfect gift for Dad, Grandpa, or any MLB fan!

MLB Toaster – The Perfect Start to Your Day

What does every true baseball fan start the day with? Coffee, toast, and a quick review of the results and stats from last night. I’m sure you already have the perfect team mug, but does your toast have your team logo on it? That little problem is easily solved with the fun MLB toaster!

For around $35 you too can decorate both your kitchen and your toast with a nifty retro toaster. 2-slice toaster has your team’s logo on the outside and toasts your bread with your teams logo. When has your breakfast been this much fun?

I hope your team has a great season this year (except for when you’re playing the Rockies)! I’m going to go out on a limb and predict that the Rockies will make the playoffs. What’s your prediction for the 2011 MLB Season?
