This week we asked our writers to share photos of some baseball related gifts they gave or received this holiday season.
Enjoy!

Lincoln Mitchell - My birthday is in December, so this was a birthday present not a holiday present. My brother-in-law grew up in Los Angeles and I grew up in San Francisco. He is a Dodgers and Angels fan while I am a Giants and Yankees fan. I was born in New York and my mother’s family were all Yankees fans going back for several decades. In any case, my brother-in-law and I have a tradition of giving each other baseball memorabilia for birthday. He gets me Giants related gifts and I get him Dodgers related gifts. This is what he gave me this year.

Ethan Semendinger - I am working on building the 1959 Topps set. I received a few cards and this wonderful new book that gives a biography on each player in the set!
***
Michael Saffer - I collect Yankees ornaments for the tree!
***
Mike Whiteman - I love vintage baseball hats, and I received two books in addition!
***
Tim Kabel - From my son who plays baseball there...
***
Ed Botti - I got a nice photo of the Captain for my office.

Paul Semendinger - For the writer, some books to read...
