Play ball! After an always-too-long five months of offseason, it is finally Opening Day once more. To celebrate, Amazon is offering up to 45% off team shirts, hats and socks. Yet, the devoted baseball fan is likely already decked out in the apparel of his or her favorite team. For the diehards out there looking to take their fandom to the next level, there is Amazon’s Fan Shop, a Hall of Fame-caliber depository of various logoed memorabilia. Here are some of its best items for the super-fan in all of us:

Women’s Summer Shoes

One of the best things about baseball is that it presages summer. Winter is finally, truly over, and it is almost possible to smell the barbecues of Memorial Day. As such, it is time to get one’s summer wardrobe in order. To assist in this endeavor, Amazon sells Ladies’ Canvas Slip-On Summer Shoes. These make for a perfect footwear complement to those no-show socks on sale today.

MLB Womens Baseball Ladies Canvas Slip-On Summer Shoes (14.37 – 25.99)

Helmet Ice Cream Bowls

At one time or another, everyone has eaten ice cream out of the mini batting helmet bowls available at Major League ballpark. Not everybody, however, has the necessary dishware to recreate this experience at home. To solve this, Fan Shop provides two options. For the true-blue homers, there is the 24-pack, which contains two-dozen helmets emblazoned with his or her favorite team. For the less partisan “fans of the game” among us, there is the 30-pack, featuring the logos of each and every Major League team.

MLB Mini Batting Helmet Ice Cream Sundae/Snack Bowls (24) – from $20.99 (Indians) to $29.99 (most teams)

MLB Logo Official MLB 8oz Mini Baseball Helmet Ice Cream Snack Bowls (30) by Rawlings – $43.99

Golf Paraphernalia

This is a big week in sports. In addition to Opening Day, March Madness comes to a climactic finish in Houston with tonight’s Championship Game, and the 80th Masters kick off on Thursday. For those looking for a purchase to celebrate both baseball and golf, Amazon’s Fan Shop offers two great packages of golf equipment featuring MLB team logos. These are: the Divot Tool Pack that also comes with three ball markers and the MLB Cap Clip that comes with two ball markers. If you are an avid golfer that already has his fair share of baseball-themed ball markers, Fan Shop also offers the MLB Embroidered Golf Towel, the MLB 175 Tee Jar, the MLB Golf Umbrella and the MLB Hybrid Head Cover. After loading up on these products, true fans can put it all in their MLB Fairway Golf Stand Bags.

MLB Divot Tool Pack With 3 Golf Ball Markers – from $10.79 (Dodgers) to $19.99 (Nationals/Rockies)

MLB Cap Clip With 2 Golf Ball Markers – from $8.89 (Dodgers) to $17.99 (Nationals)

Zippo Lighters

What better way to protest the spread of major cities’ smokeless tobacco bans in ballparks than to light up with Zippo, whose MLB lighters are currently heavily featured as a sponsored product on Amazon. The lighters also come in a variety of styles, although some designs feature more team options than others. The Brushed Chrome Lighters come in 29 teams (sorry Astro fans!), the Metal Emblem Lighters come in 27, and the Matte Lighters only come in eight.

Zippo MLB Matte Lighters – from $8.29 (Marlins) to $26.90 (Rangers)

Zippo MLB Brushed Chrome Lighters – from $14.20 (Brewers) to $25.21 (Rockies)

MLB Zippo Lighter – from $12.00 (Phillies) to $39.99 (list price)

Badge Holders

If you work in Major League Baseball, you probably already have one of these. If you either want to work in Major League Baseball or want people to think you work in Major League Baseball, this item is a must-have. You might as well get a lanyard, too, while you’re at it.

MLB Retractable Premium Badge Holder – from $5.59 (Twins) to $10.08 (Dodgers)

 Toasters

These toasters are among the best items in the Fan Shop. According to the product description, it “Toasts: Bread, Waffles, English Muffins, or Toaster Pastry.” It also features an “Adjustable Thermostat, Reheat, Defrost, and Quick Stop Function.” Just as the MLB is starting the 2016 season with some baseball, why not start your day off with some baseball as well. Unlike much of the merchandise listed above, the toasters are offered in all thirty teams. Did I mention that they are in the shape of a baseball?

MLB Pangea Brands ProToast MVP Toaster, White – from $7.36 (Yankees) to $49.99 (list price)

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
