Last night at Petco Park, Alexi Amarista led the Padres to a big 9th inning walk-off win over the Giants, but the biggest feat of the night happened near the team store in the 3rd inning.The Padres newest little fan, Levi, was born near the Gaslamp Gate entrance of the ballpark. His mother went into labor, and Petco Park nurse, Donna Borowy knew that there was no time to make it to a hospital.
Talk about acquiring young talent....
I assume that having a baby in a baseball stadium is not every woman's dream, but it is now one of mine. I mean, it would honestly be just like a relaxing at home birth, in my opinion.
I suspect that the name Levi was already previously chosen for him (would've really fit if he was born at Levi's Stadium), but I think having a baby under a special circumstance like this calls for a name change. Perhaps Gwynn, or Kemp, or Rzepczynski would have been a better fit.No matter his name, he and his family will have this story to tell for years to come. He can tell all the kids in his classes at school, "I was born at Petco Park, before a Padres no-hitter was even born there."
Last night was a also a promotional "College Night" at Petco Park. As a future SDSU student, I am a fan of discounted games for San Diego college students, but perhaps next year's promotion on September 24th should be a Padres Baby Onesie giveaway, with Levi throwing out the first pitch as a one year old. Just saying...
