Oh Baby!

NEW YORK – A New York City minor league baseball team has pulled off an unusual pre-game warm up.

The Brooklyn Cyclones offered a Lamaze class in center field before Sunday night's game. It was one of the activities as part of the "Bellies and Baseball: A Salute to Pregnancy" event.
Other activities at the theme night for the affiliate of the New York Mets included expectant moms running — or walking — the bases without shoes before the game, women in their third trimesters throwing out ceremonial first pitches and pregnant women singing on the field during the seventh-inning stretch.

There was a craving station consisting of pickles, ice cream and pizza.

The team says any expectant mom who agrees to name her child Brooklyn or Cy gets free season tickets for life.

Wow. The Mets entire organization is hard up for some feel good news huh? And why are pregnant women running the basses....barefoot?! I hope Randal Simon doesn't play for the Cyclones. Is there a "Husbands of Preggos" Night where the dads-to-be have to run around the stadium searching for random foods that the pregnant wives crave, only to get the most specific item back to them before the women change their mind an realize that Nachos make them sick?

And really, is there anyone who is such a baseball fan that they would name their child Brooklyn or Cy (shouldn't it have to be Cyclone considering Cy was one of the best pitchers ever and he didn't even play for the Mets or any affiliated team?) just to get season tickets to a MINOR LEAGUE TEAM???

Maybe next week the Mets can have a "Dr. in the House" day and find someone to actually deal with all the injuries they have. Or a "I was a Starting Pitcher in Little League" Day to shore up their rotation.

I just hope to god that non of the ladies want their child to be born into their arms of a major league player....especially Luis Castillo.
