Slightly OT: Gift idea for first state tourney?

[doubleringer]

I'm sure he'd appreciate dinner and a cold beverage with his son afterwards. Something signed by the crew. Last season one of my baseball partners kept a "pearl" in the back of his bags on the plate when we worked my first sub-state game together. After the game he handed it to me signed when we went out for a beer. I have it on my desk now. It's more about him taking the time to recognize me getting the game than the ball itself. That and the fact that he is a little older than me and I have tremendous respect for him as an official and as a person.
