CC Claus: A Baseball Christmas Story
A sweet holiday story for all ages of how beloved New York Yankee star pitcher CC Sabathia, his son Carsten, and a few of baseball’s most legendary players save Christmas
While reading fan mail with his oldest son, Carsten, on Christmas Eve, CC Sabathia finds a letter addressed to Santa from a little girl whose family has lost everything in a flood. To help make the little girl’s Christmas wishes come true, CC and Carsten head to the North Pole to deliver the letter to Santa. But Santa and his elves might be too overwhelmed to finish presents for another family this close to Christmas!
Determined to help Santa make sure every child has a happy Christmas, CC calls his boss, Mr. Steinbrenner, who rallies a stellar line up of helpers: Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jackie Robinson, and many more baseball legends.
Together, CC, Mr. Steinbrenner, Carsten, and all the greats of baseball set to work making bats, gloves, train sets, dolls, and other toys. But even with all their efforts, there may be no Christmas—Santa Claus is sick! To save the day, Carsten suggests that his dad, CC, become CC Claus! Donning a red and white Santa hat, CC and Carsten fire up the sleigh and take Santa’s place, making children’s special Christmas dreams come true.

Seriously, a smiling George Steinbrenner summons back all the baseball greats to save Christmas? You've got to be kidding. But the art is well done and the text is simple so it is not the worst. Tried and true underlying Christmas tale.
