Introducing: The All-Christmas Baseball Name Team
In the past, we’ve named our All-Name team and we’ve even rated the best Christmas sports movies, but we’ve never put the two together. So, in the spirit of the (Matt) Holiday Season, BallparkBob gives you the best Christmas baseball names.
Merry Christmas: An autographed baseball card from Steve Christmas.
We’ve tried to stick with modern or active Major Leaguers, but sometimes the old-timers had names that we just couldn’t pass up. Take Steve Christmas for example. Nobody remembers Christmas’s career and his .162 career batting average in 37 at bats from 1983 to 1986 with the Reds, White Sox, and Cubs, but he certainly has a name that we can’t forget. Steve did receive a special Christmas gift when he hit a home run for the White Sox in 1984 when he hit .364 in 11 at bats.
