Behold, the Official World Series Baby

The search for the official (according to Comcast Sportsnet Bay Area, home of Authentic Bay Area Sports) World Series baby? It has concluded. Say hello to one Brooklynn Olivia Bird of Folsom, CA.

Born on August 1st at 8:02 p.m, the wee Brooklynn is the lucky offspring of Jennifer and Robert Bird. Of 929 expectant moms in the contest, Mrs. Bird popped out little Brooklyn closest to the target time of 7:54 p.m, meaning the child came in to this world exactly nine months and 8 minutes after Brian Wilson's final salute on the mound in Texas that fateful day last November.

Congratulations to the Bird family, who received a commemorative brick with the baby's name at AT&T park, a copy of the birth certificate signed by the team and a $2,010 gift card to the Giants store, where we hear many items are currently on sale. Also, high fives to new father Robert for that respectable 8 minutes.

umm let's all re-read the section in Freakonomics about misspelled names and IQ/income levels one more time.........

Apparently she was born 11 days late, which raises the question of whether she was conceived right after the World Series win or about a week before it.

Regardless, Mr. Bird was obviously able to swing his bat when Ryan Howard (of the Phillies) was incapable of doing the same.

Mazel Tov!

The contest picked 9 months exactly from the moment of the win. But the due date is calculated as 40 weeks from the start of your last period, so even if your due date was the exact day the contest ended, it probably wouldn't match up. If my kid goes 11 days past his due date (oh please no), his birthday will be 11/11/11, which I admit would be pretty cool.
