| Pelfrey makes slim Santa for holidays
Quote:
NEW YORK -- Mike Pelfrey might not pass the Christmas test. But then, how many among us can identify the Three Wise Men -- Gaspar, Melchior, and Balthasar -- without an assist from Google. But Pelfrey knows the spirit of the day and the season. So when the Mets called and asked whether he'd be a stand-in for Santa Claus at the club's annual party for New York City school kids, Pelfrey's response was an immediate, "Yes."
From his home in Wichita, Kan., to Flushing is a long trip, by plane or sleigh. But Pelfrey wanted to be there "to see their faces" and maybe their reactions to a slim, 6-foot-7 Santa. "I fit down chimneys pretty easy," he said last week.

This is good, how he immediately said, "Yes" and wanting to see their faces. He may not be the best pitcher on the Mets but this is nice of him. |
