Father’s Day is right around the corner, and the last day to order FanGraphs merchandise and have it arrive in time for the holiday is June 12. We ship everything USPS Priority mail, so it typically takes 2-3 days to arrive, with some remote locations potentially taking longer.
Below, I’ve curated a brief list of potential gifts for the dad in your life.
1. The Retro FanGraphs Sweatshirt
The first run of these sold out in 24 hours. Now they’re back in stock, and the timing couldn’t be more perfect — your dad was probably devastated that he couldn’t buy one the first time! We partnered with the clothing brand Ellsworth & Ivy to make these retro-themed FanGraphs sweatshirts. They have fully stitched chenille lettering and a stitched logo near the bottom hem. Our marketing team had the foresight to use a dad as the model for this very occasion:
2. The FanGraphs Mug
You Aren’t a FanGraphs Member
It looks like you aren’t yet a FanGraphs Member (or aren’t logged in). We aren’t mad, just disappointed.
We get it. You want to read this article. But before we let you get back to it, we’d like to point out a few of the good reasons why you should become a Member.
1. Ad Free viewing! We won’t bug you with this ad, or any other.
2. Unlimited articles! Non-Members only get to read 10 free articles a month. Members never get cut off.
3. Dark mode and Classic mode!
4. Custom player page dashboards! Choose the player cards you want, in the order you want them.
5. One-click data exports! Export our projections and leaderboards for your personal projects.
6. Remove the photos on the home page! (Honestly, this doesn’t sound so great to us, but some people wanted it, and we like to give our Members what they want.)
7. Even more Steamer projections! We have handedness, percentile, and context neutral projections available for Members only.
8. Get FanGraphs Walk-Off, a customized year end review! Find out exactly how you used FanGraphs this year, and how that compares to other Members. Don’t be a victim of FOMO.
9. A weekly mailbag column, exclusively for Members.
10. Help support FanGraphs and our entire staff! Our Members provide us with critical resources to improve the site and deliver new features!
We hope you’ll consider a Membership today, for yourself or as a gift! And we realize this has been an awfully long sales pitch, so we’ve also removed all the other ads in this article. We didn’t want to overdo it.
Available in either black or white, this mug remains our most popular bit of merch. People love these mugs. Just think how happy the dad in your life will be drinking his morning coffee or tea out of this thing:
3. Gift a FanGraphs Membership!
If you happen to miss the June 12 order deadline, don’t despair. Give the dad in your lift an entire year of everything the site has to offer with a FanGraphs Membership. And you can wait until the last minute to purchase this one, because we’ll e-mail the coupon code to the recipient of your choice at the time of purchase. Procrastinators rejoice!
