Scrapbook

The better half is putting together a scrapbook of DD's softball career for her HS senior finale. She did a tremendous job with her volleyball scrapbook, but I was just a spectator and supporter of that endeavor.
Any ideas what a Dad/Coach could contribute? Some of the best times we have had together have been on the diamond or traveling/staying at tourneys and clinics. All the gloves,bats,spikes uniforms, trophies, tee shirts,visors and the likes. I could fill a whole room with it. Half the basement is dedicated to trophies,pictures,plaques etc.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Time and Iced tea or coffee refills, Momma said said beat it, this is my gig....... The books are like 6" thick....

I'm traveling to as many of DD's college games as possible, and I try to save things like gate tickets, programs with rosters, etc. During travel ball, we went to the Aunt Rosie's tourney, and visited the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. I kept napkins, tickets - anything memorabilia that you could glue in a scrapbook. Of course tons of digital pics are also great. The wife has been making a scrapbook of DD's college years, and this is her senior year - so it's almost complete! My problem is that I get so caught up in watching the games that I forget to take pictures. But I have a LOT of pics from all our softball experiences.

I would suggest for HS to take lots of pics of the girls in the dugout, or just doing goofy things. Pictures of parents in chairs, or bleachers. There are a lot more memories than just the action on the field. If those girls are like most, it's not too hard to get them to clown around a little! Makes for great scrapbook shots. If you have a local "neighborhood" newspaper, cut out any sports write-ups about the HS team.

Old rec ball photos, pics of their teamates if they were friends early on, Pamphlets, everything Sammy said. Brackets from tournaments if you were smart enough to take them off walls

The best thing we do is the blankets we have made of all of their tournament shirts, uniforms of all sports, about 6'x8' or so. About 30 shirts

Can you think of specifics? When you look at a certain item does it bring back a specific game/play/hit she had? Take a dig picture of the items and write what you remember.

Write her a letter. She will treasure this!

The quilt is a good idea. I may even get one with all my racing T- shirts! Nothing like going home early Sunday with a new T-shirt and no trophy
