Here's how you can ring in the holidays with your favorite MLB teams and stars

Everyone has a different Christmas tradition. Maybe you eat far too much pie. Maybe you sit down with your family and watch Die Hard, the preeminent yuletide movie. Maybe you leave cookies out for Santa (and carrots for Rudolph, of course). No matter what your routine, though, there's one thing everyone can agree on: Christmas is always better with baseball.
Luckily, MLB is here to help -- and we've got everything necessary to get baseball fans in the holiday spirit. Want to take a look back at the season that was? Click play on the Deck the Calls video above for a collection of the best calls of 2017. If Tommy Lasorda reciting beloved Christmas poems is more your speed, 1) that's an oddly specific wish and 2) have we got just the thing for you:

You can even read about what gift noted Santa Archie Bradley would get for each of his D-backs teammates.
Justin Nicolino really got into the Christmas spirit with matching pajamas for the whole family:
