An anonymous source recently had the unique opportunity to get a very quick peek at Santa’s 2021 list for Major League Baseball. Since the unnamed source is a Dodgers fan, she recognized and remembered several of the names and their respective under-the-tree presents.
This is a highly confidential list; passing along will likely result in your inclusion on Santa’s naughty directory.
- Manager Dave Roberts – A three-year contract extension.
- Director of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman – The picture of Andrew and Freddie Freeman smiling and shaking hands at Dodger Stadium first base.
- First baseman Max Muncy – A Wilson A-2K second base glove
- Centerfielder Cody Bellinger – Ted Williams‘ book “The Science of Hitting,” and copies of Tony Gwynn hitting videos
- Starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw – A six-year supply of the rattlesnake ointment used by Satchel Paige for his pitching arm.
- Third baseman Justin Turner – “Guide to Designated Hitting” by David Ortiz
- Middle infielder Gavin Lux – “Willie Mays‘ Guide to Playing the Outfield”
