Love baseball? Love "A Christmas Story?"

They have been combined - South Carolina minor league baseball team, the Greenville Drive launched a series of print ads that pay homage to "A Christmas Story." Using the tagline is "Make it a Baseball Story," each ad recreates an iconic scene from the movie, with a baseball twist.

Erwin-Penland created the campaign.

All I Want for Christmas
Is My Eyesight back
By Tony Conigliaro

All I want for Christmas is my eyesight back,
My eyesight back, get my eyesight back.
Gee, if I could only have my eyesight back,
Then I could see you at Christmas."

It seems so long since I could see,
A fastball coming in right at me
Gosh, oh gee, how happy I would be
If I could only see.

All I want for Christmas is my eyesight back,
My eyesight back, get my eyesight back
Gee, if I could only have my eyesight back,
Then I could see you this Christmas."

They're funny lyrics, Vintage...but I was thinking with "The Christmas Story"-baseball theme: "You'll put your eye out"...
