(Father’s Day Guide)

Cub's Way The Cubs Way: The Zen of Building the Best Team in Baseball and Breaking the Curse by Tom Verducci, $17.48
When it comes to baseball analysis and storytelling, there aren’t many better than Tom Verducci. In his 2017 novel The Cubs Way, the veteran 'Sports Illustrated' writer dives into how the Chicago Cubs managed to snap their 108-year World Series drought and details who played the biggest roles in making it happen.
knee sleeve Copper Fit Pro Series Compression Knee Sleeve, $19.99
Muscle and joint soreness can often inhibit athletic activity as age and usage begin to take their toll. Luckily, Copper Fit markets compression sleeves that provide relief from soreness at any of your father’s most troublesome joints. Available for knee, ankle, elbow and back pain, these are a Father’s Day gift that will pay off time and time again.
Redskins cups Washington Redskins 16-ounce beer glasses, $20.10
Sometimes dads just want to sit back and watch some football with a cold one in hand. The NFL preseason kicks off in August, so get ahead of the game and grab your father a couple of official Washington Redskins beer glasses to help him take the edge off on Sunday afternoons.
Boys on the Boat The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics by Daniel James Brown, $10.11
The Great Depression was in full swing, and Adolf Hitler was at the height of his power, but that didn’t stop this group of nine working-class boys from taking home gold in rowing at the 1936 Berlin Summer Olympics. Daniel James Brown’s No. 1 New York Times best-seller, The Boys in the Boat tells the gripping story of an epic achievement during one of the most critical periods in American history.
golf bag Callaway 2017 Capital Golf Stand Bag, $109.69
How long has he been using that same old golf bag? If your dad spends more of his time on the back nine than he does anywhere else, he might be due for a golf bag upgrade. Callaway’s newest model includes a rain hood, five-way top divider, stands alone and comes in six different colors.
camel back CamelBak M.U.L.E. Hydration Pack backpack, $78.94
Summer is just around the corner, and both biking paths and hiking trails are already seeing full use. Staying hydrated is crucial to make those experiences memorable ones, but taking water breaks can slow things down. For this Father’s Day, consider investing in a CamelBak, a backpack with a built-in tube for easy access to water whenever he needs it.
ping pong table Indoor table tennis table with net and paddles, $379.94
Looking for something your father or husband can use with you and your family? Consider picking up a pingpong table complete with a net. Whether you choose a collapsible option for easy storage, permanent standing to serve as the centerpiece in his man cave or conversion top to place above the pool table he already has, the potential for family rivalries is only the beginning. Don’t forget the paddles!
