California artist and father, Bill Anderson’s book on baseball offers a unique “dad” gift for Father’s Day. Having been a star pitcher in high school, college and semi-pros, his love for and understanding of the sport are apparent in his artwork.

Total spending is expected to reach $15.5 billion, setting a record. The most requested gift (27%) is a “gift of experience” for Father’s Day such as tickets to a sporting event, concert or festival.
