David Price, Justin Turner audition for role of Santa with generous holiday gift-giving
David Price, Justin Turner audition for role of Santa
Imagine you're an MLB player with dreams of one day being Santa Claus -- a natural impulse this time of year. You have two options: Either write a children's book in which you literally take Santa's place on Christmas Eve, or become a real-life Santa substitute by giving away tons of gifts just before Christmas Day.
For David Price and Justin Turner, option B was best.
Price gave away gifts to schoolchildren this holiday season through his Project 14 foundation and everyone, including Price, is feeling pretty stoked.
