Not too late to scrounge up a present for Dad by Father's Day (yes, it's this Sunday, you goof). Not with the Internet at your disposal. Not with a credit card and FedEx.
Pick, click, and have it delivered ASAP. Some fast-fix suggestions:

The low-end option: Doesn't involve money or much forethought. Drag him out to Dodger Stadium for the third annual Father's Day Catch. Runs from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Free entrance, free parking. Space is limited. Go to www.dodgers.com for more info.

The high-end option: Game-worn jerseys by Hall of Famers. Like Walter Johnson, Larry Bird, Mickey Mantle, Wilt Chamberlain. It's a Soteby's Collectables Auction on June 24. Or just buy the catalogue for this thing ($36) at www.sothebys.com .

The options in between:

Chocolate balls: Stop giggling. At Gayety's chocolate shop, they've got 'em in the shape of soccer balls, basketballs, golf balls, footballs. Check it out yourself at www.gayetys.com.

Surf's up: This cat named Maynard in La Mesa has an awesome surf poster collection on his Surf Classics website, but even better, he has a few of these things for sale.

We're also partial to anything at the Dewey Weber store, now based in San Clemente, although a quick ship may be dicey. It's worth the effort.

L.A. RETRO GEAR: Dad had to have been a Kings fan back in the yellow-and-purple days. Team LA Store has 'em for $100. Have "GORING" put on the back with No. 19 to really rattle his memory bank.

MOVIE STUFF: "Nacho Libre" comes out Friday. Want a mask that Jack Black wore in the movie? Swear. At Premiere Props' Website, they guarantee it's movie-worn stuff. The Nacho Libre mask above goes for $2,500. But if you gots to have it ...
They've also got things from "The Bad News Bears" and "Longest Yard" remakes. And, for $119.99, you can snag the leather shoes Terry Bradshaw wore in "Failure To Launch." Not sure the size...

ESPN-IT: One-stop clicking for things in different price categories, from $16.99 NBA flip-flops to $499.99 Raiders neon bar signs that never seem to go out of style. White jumpsuit not included.
