Here’s a brief run on the best Baseball Christmas Card Lineup that we could scout and sign here at The Pecan Park Eagle in less than an hour. Wish we could have found those three guys named Gold, Frankincense, and Muir. We know that Gold is in there conjunctively as Golden, Goldman and the like, like but it didn’t make a lot of sense in that conjoined-to-other-letters form without his two less commonly named companions.
Have a great week everybody – and just remember too – you’ve still got all the time in the world to get ready for Christmas!

It’s too bad that the parents of HoF’er Frank Chance gave him the middle name of Leroy instead of Norman or the like. That way you might have had Frank N. Chance.

Enjoyed your lineup but thought I would toss out some other possibilities for you.
How about Jay Bell at shortstop?
How about Ken Rudolph at catcher?
How about J T Snow at 1B?
Those were just a couple that immediately popped to me.

How about Mike Lamb (3B) / Angel Pagan (OF) / Jamey Carroll (UI) / Matt Holliday (OF) / Rob Deer (OF) / David DeJesus (OF) / Al Clauss (P) / Whitey Herzog (MGR) – if we need an Umpire Mike Winters

No “how about” factor blocking those guys, Doug. Those prospects are beautiful fits. Let’s sign ’em up today.
