Carlos Gomez's Christmas softball game was managed by two Hall of Fame greats

By Michael Clair

Move over, Santa. While St. Nick brings some mighty fun toys, there's no chance he'll deliver a better Christmas gift than who showed up to manage Carlos Gómez's Christmas softball teams. On Saturday, Vlad Guerrero and Pedro Martinez arrived to play skipper for the "Clasico Navideno." 
Of course, Pedro showed up late. 

Guerrero also took the mound and while he didn't show off the cannon he had in right field, he still got a pretty big swing and miss -- though I don't think he'll be harboring any Rick Ankiel-pitching comeback dreams.
