Here's your annual guide to all the most delightfully weird AL gifts in the MLB.com Shop

A gift guide for the unique AL fans on your list

No two baseball fans are exactly alike. We each have unique experiences and memories of our favorite teams and players, so it's natural that some of us show our pride with a hat or jersey while others own hundreds of obscure bubbleheads.

The thing is, it can feel darn near impossible to figure out holiday gifts for friends and family members toward the latter end of that spectrum. The list below is intended to help: one suggestion per AL team (check out the NL here) for the fan in your life who won't be content to show their pride with only a giant team flag.

Baltimore Orioles

Next time you see your friends, ask them, "Is The Nightmare Before Christmas a Halloween movie or a Christmas movie? Whoever says Christmas, give them this Mummified Oriole Bird bobblehead.

Boston Red Sox

For the Red Sox fan you know who loves -- actually, scratch that. If you give these socks to any Red Sox fan, their feet will be both warm and stylish for the entirely of David Ortiz's final MLB season. 

Chicago White Sox

This old-timey White Sox top is perfect for your friend who is super into historical reenactments. 

Cleveland Indians

Do people still collect Pez dispensers? Do Indians fans still collect Pez dispensers? If so, we know just the gift for them. 

Detroit Tigers

Houston Astros

For the Astros fan in your life who just moved into a new place and is in the process of decorating, we recommend this couch

Kansas City Royals

For the Royals fan whose favorite hobby is making dioramas, this miniature Commissioner's Trophy

Los Angeles Angels

There have to be Angels fans out there who do great impressions of Jered Weaver. If you know one, give them this mask to take things to the next level.

Minnesota Twins

Do you know any Twins fans who have always fantasized about being a giant who drinks out of human-sized goblets? This Twins mug is a good start to realizing that fantasy. 

New York Yankees

There are Yankees fans who have only been alive for only one championship. Those are the Yankees fans who'd probably appreciate a selfie stick most.

Oakland A's

We're going to assume nearly everyone already has this stuffed Stomper, because it's the most adorable. But, if you know someone who doesn't, rectify that immediately.

Seattle Mariners

For the Mariners fan who spent so much time in the rain last year, they need a new umbrella.

Tampa Bay Rays

There are Rays fans, there are EDM fans and there are Rays EDM fans. Those people love DJ Kitty, and they would love this DJ Kitty bobblehead

Texas Rangers

You can't give just anyone a bathrobe. There's a protocol for this sort of gift. So, think long about which specific Rangers fan you can give a bathrobe to, and then give them this one.

Toronto Blue Jays

Give this ukulele to the Blue Jays fan you know who has been trying to start that Mumford & Sons cover band.
