In late December 1973, Santa Claus -- also known as Ohio State football player Jim Kregel -- made an appearance at a party in Pasadena, Calif.
Santa took Woody Hayes, right, by surprise when he asked him if he was having a good time. The coach answered 'yes,' and Santa said, 'That sure is a switch.'
The remark brought the house down.
