James McCann's experience with his premature twins began with an act of kindness. Now the White Sox catcher is paying it forward.

It was a small gesture from Tim McGraw and Faith Hill and White Sox catcher James McCann is positive country music’s most famous married couple had no clue that McCann and his wife, Jessica, received it — let alone how it touched them.

The McCanns had twins boys in December 2017 — born two months premature — and little Christian and Kane had to spend the holidays and beyond at Vanderbilt Children's Neonatology Intensive Care Clinics (NICU) in Nashville.

“Being stuck in the hospital with babies wrapped in cords and being pricked and prodded is not really your definition of the holidays,” McCann said.
