Every pick works for a birthday, Christmas or the end of the season.

What to Write on His Gift
A short line on the birthday card, or engraved on the gift itself, is the part he will remember. A few that work for boys:
"Proud of you every time you step up to the plate."
"Keep swinging, buddy. We are in the stands for every pitch."
For engraving, keep it short: [Name] #[Number], or Rookie of the Year [Year].
