Baseball Games and Activities
Aside from the classic ball games, here are a few more game ideas for baseball birthday theme parties:
Blindfolded baseball
draw a baseball field on large poster board and cut out little baseballs out of simple white paper. Blindfold the kids and then have them pin a baseball on the "field." They get points for different plays, for instance, if they pin their ball near first base they get one point, second base gets two points, home plate gives them four points. You can also have two teams play against each other.
Don't forget to pass out these fun baseball horns to get the kids roaring and cheering their friends on.
Baseless Baseball
You first need to designate a throwing line (you can put masking tape on the ground to show it) and decide on targets. Practically anything can be a target: boxes, rocks, cans, bottles, a mark on the ground, etc. (the bigger the target the easier it will be). Each target has a value (the bigger and easier targets are singles, harder ones are doubles, etc.). Divide the group into two teams. The teams take turns throwing at the targets. If the target is hit, the player's team gets the matching score. If the target is missed, that player's team is given one out. When the thrower has three outs, the next thrower comes to bat. You can play as many innings as the kids show excitement for and of course you can change targets ever-so-often.
Peanuts, Get your Peanuts
This is a fun and simple game for birthday theme parties. Pair up the kids and give one a baseball cap with shelled peanuts and one an empty cap. The kids have to sit or stand in front of their teammates at a distance. At the blow of a whistle, they kid with the peanuts throws them to his teammate, who needs to catch them with the empty cap only. Make sure the kids have an equal amount of peanuts.
Splash Pitch
Have the kids play a traditional toss game to master their pitching skills. The "catch" is to use water balloons instead of balls.
Peanut-Eating Contest
Pair up the kids, blindfold one and tie the hands of the other. Give each pair ten shelled peanuts. Have the blindfolded kid try to feed his teammate the peanuts without peeling them.
Baseball Pinata
Pinatas are a hit at outdoor birthday theme parties such as this. If the kids are old enough, you can have them try to break this baseball pinata with real baseballs or bats. Just be careful!

Baseball Invitations
The invitations can be made to look like real baseball cards. The front can have a picture of your kid dressed up in a baseball uniform with his/her name below the picture. The back is the invitation. It can say "Hey batter, batter! Help this little slugger hit it outta the park and come celebrate his/her birthday in true baseball style".
You can use more Baseball lingo for example: "Take me out to Bobby's Birthday Ball Game. Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks", "Let the games begin!", "One, Two, Three strikes and your OUT!", etc. Address each envelope to "Big Hitter Charlie" (each kid's first name). You can attach a box of Cracker Jacks to the invite with curling ribbon.
If you are able to deliver the invitations personally you can purchase cheap plastic baseballs (or even baseball bats!) and write all of the information for the party on them with a permanent marker. Then put each in a baseball-themed gift bag and tie with ribbon.
For the thank you notes you can write something like "You made my party a HIT!"

Baseball Icebreaker Activities
Face Painting
A cool idea for baseball birthday theme parties is to provide the kids with a set of face paints. Along with having them paint their own faces in their favorite team's colors, you can also hand out black face paint and have them mark two lines on their cheeks below each eye just like the pros.
Batter Helmets
The kids can decorate these plain plastic batter's helmets with stickers, glitter, puff paint, etc. This can be a great icebreaker activity at baseball birthday theme parties while you are waiting for everyone to arrive and an excellent favor to take home.

Here's how to make a Baseball Cap Cake:
First, bake a dome cake (baked in a six inch sphere); best if you choose your kid's favorite kind of cake. Then make an eight inch round cake. Cut the eight inch cake so that it looks like a brim (a half moon shape). Then position it right next to the dome cake (as if it's hugging the dome cake). You can then frost the whole thing (it's nice to frost the dome a different color than the brim). In the end you can also add licorice shoestring to create lines on the dome. Put an M&M on the highest point of the dome to look more like a baseball cap and you can even use more M&M's to create the first letter of your kid's name or a favorite team, etc.
You can also make half of a baseball from a round heat-proof bowl and frost white. Then add red stitching with red frosting.
You can also make a cake shaped like a baseball diamond (just cut a diamond out of a rectangular cake). Complete by putting players on the cake.
For baseball cupcakes (it's very simple!), frost the tops of the cupcakes with white frosting and with red licorice create the red stitching of a baseball.
