The Slugger and The Superstar are a pair of religious tracts produced by Chick Publications and its controversial founder, Jack Chick.

The tracts are identical in plot line, but feature different characters, each aimed at a particular market.

Plot Line

In each tract, an athlete wins the world championship for his team, and as a result signs a multi-million dollar contract and also a multi-million dollar product endorsement.

The athlete's gardener, though, has the nerve to tell him that, without Christ, all his riches and fame are worthless. The athlete gets angry at his gardener; however, after learning that he has terminal cancer, asks the gardener to share his faith.

The athlete accepts Christ as savior, and upon his death gives his entire estate to the gardener "because he's the only one who will use it wisely".
