A Meaningful Date in October

Willets Point Feb 19 2007 11:08 AM

Ms. Tiger and I are adding to the roster of CPF babies. Due date is around the same time the World Series begins. Equal shares of joy and fear in anticipation.

metirish Feb 19 2007 11:12 AM

Big congrats to you both....

Benjamin Grimm Feb 19 2007 11:17 AM

Congratulations! My son was born at World Series time. It was as Yankees-Braves was about to open in 1996. I had no plans to watch anyway, so there was no conflict.

seawolf17 Feb 19 2007 11:36 AM

Congrats, Willets! Best of luck.

Rockin' Doc Feb 19 2007 11:44 AM

Congratulations. Come October, we will hopefully be celebrating a Mets World Series Championship and, more importantly, a healthy new addition to your family.

ScarletKnight41 Feb 19 2007 12:15 PM

Mazel Tov Willets - that's wonderful news!

Centerfield Feb 19 2007 12:29 PM

Overheard in October... "Now? Right now? But it's the 8th inning...do you think you can hang on just a little longer?" Congratulations Willets. You have no idea how much joy being a parent will bring to your life.

Edgy DC Feb 19 2007 01:12 PM

Cool, I just bought 50 shares of Willets Point. Congrats to you and the Missus.

Gwreck Feb 19 2007 07:20 PM

Congrats and best wishes.

DocTee Feb 19 2007 07:26 PM

Awesome news--congratz!

Johnny Dickshot Feb 19 2007 07:29 PM

Congrats! You're about to have a pretty unforgettable year.

MFS62 Feb 20 2007 05:29 AM

Hope you can enjoy the same kind of great year I had in 1969 when my first daughter was born. Later

Congratulation to a very nice couple

Frayed Knot Feb 20 2007 07:33 PM

I think you need to make a committment to name the kid after whoever is that night's post-season hero. I can see it now ... I christen thee Duaner Sanchez Point

Methead Feb 20 2007 07:36 PM

Nice work, Willets, congrats!

Rockin' Doc Feb 20 2007 07:46 PM

Knot - "I think you need to make a committment to name the kid after whoever is that night's post-season hero. I can see it now ... I christen thee Duaner Sanchez Point" As long as the child doesn't end up being named Derek Jeter Point, I'll be happy.

Willets Point Feb 20 2007 07:59 PM

[quote="Rockin' Doc":1h1ayw8c]As long as the child doesn't end up being named Derek Jeter Point, I'll be happy.[/quote:1h1ayw8c] You and me both! There's a chance I might end up with Justin Verlander Point though.

Kong76 Feb 21 2007 11:34 AM

¡ Congratulations !

metirish Feb 21 2007 01:23 PM

Fred Wilpon send his best wishes Willets.

soupcan Feb 26 2007 09:21 AM

Congrats - appreciate & enjoy your next 7+ months...

sharpie Feb 26 2007 12:15 PM

Congrats.

Willets Point Apr 17 2007 02:46 PM

Dude it's like the second trimester already!

Willets Point May 25 2007 09:06 AM

Ultrasound today. We're parents of a healthy little boy. Pedro is a good name.

seawolf17 May 25 2007 09:12 AM

Hey, congrats! Very exciting. Have him learn to catch, because I don't think we have a catcher yet on the CPF MiniMets. Funny looking back at the old posts in this thread... I guess it's not going be Duaner Sanchez Point, eh?

dgwphotography May 25 2007 09:18 AM

Congrats Willets! I hope left-handedness runs in the family...

Edgy DC May 25 2007 09:24 AM

Wondeful.

Benjamin Grimm May 25 2007 11:16 AM

[quote="Willets Point":3hb1q7mc]Pedro is a good name.[/quote:3hb1q7mc] Yeah, but Clambake is better. Congratulations. A pregnancy is a long process, and my experience was that learning the sex roughly halfway through gives you a nice little surge of excitement that's helpful in getting through that second half.

metirish May 31 2007 09:38 AM

Congrats Willets....

cooby May 31 2007 04:32 PM

Johnny Dickshot May 31 2007 05:56 PM

I did too. I.J. Dickie Shot Junior has offered to pitch. He throws with both hands presently.

Rockin' Doc May 31 2007 07:44 PM

He's amphibious? Awesome.

Johnny Dickshot May 31 2007 08:59 PM

I think he's actually some kind of reptile.

Willets Point May 31 2007 09:21 PM

Batty31 Jun 01 2007 08:23 PM

Sorry I'm just finding this thread now. Congrats, Willets. And yeah, I read that post wrong, too. :P

Edgy DC Nov 07 2007 09:06 AM

I don't know when Willets is going to surface long enough to make a statement, but his household now has a third member. Last I checked, mother and baby Pedro were doing fine.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Nov 07 2007 09:14 AM

Is Pedro just a code name? Cuz if it's not, that would be awesome. But congrats. Lots of sleep deprivation and terror (not to mention love & laffs) coming your way!

Edgy DC Nov 07 2007 09:30 AM

Pedro was their in utero code name, but I just went and checked the roster and he is listed as Peter, so it works under any circumstances.

Benjamin Grimm Nov 07 2007 09:32 AM

Each of my two kids had "fetal names" too. We used them consistently until the ultrasound. Once we knew the gender, we started calling them by their eventual birth names. (My daughter's fetal name was Benny Agbayani.)

soupcan Nov 07 2007 09:37 AM

'Cletes the Fetus' was our name for all three.

Rockin' Doc Nov 07 2007 10:38 AM

Congratulations to WP and his wife on the new arrival. I hope all is going well with mother, baby,and dad.

metirish Nov 07 2007 02:38 PM

Congrats to you and your family, really great news.

Valadius Nov 07 2007 03:37 PM

Congrats to Willets!

sharpie Nov 07 2007 04:08 PM

Congrats to Willets. Come back and acknowledge our good wishes.

Willets Point Nov 09 2007 03:06 PM

Hello everyone. Thanks for all your good wishes. Mother and baby are doing great. Despite the title of this thread, the little guy decided to hold out until Nov. 1st (and was 2 hours shy of Nov. 2nd). Name: Peter Andrew Weight: 9 lbs Length: 21.5 " He's a great little guy and life seems happier with him. Thanks again for the good wishes.

Benjamin Grimm Nov 09 2007 03:08 PM

Hey! Glad you dropped by! Congratulations!

seawolf17 Nov 09 2007 05:48 PM

Congrats to little Peter Point and best wishes on the new addition!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Nov 09 2007 06:17 PM

WHAM.

Gwreck Nov 09 2007 08:58 PM

Congrats!

metsmarathon Nov 10 2007 10:08 AM

congrats!

A Boy Named Seo Nov 11 2007 09:01 AM

Congratulations, Willets. Next-Generation Cranepool numbers are swelling.

Centerfield Nov 12 2007 11:20 AM

Awesome. We need some pictures NOW!!!! Congratulations Willets.

metsguyinmichigan Nov 12 2007 12:55 PM

Fantastic, Willets! You need to get Peter to Shea for at least one game next year and take lots of pictures so he can say he was there!

Willets Point May 20 2008 06:44 PM

Trying on Dad's cap: Of course he's also hiding his face so maybe he's uncertain about the team's slow start.

Benjamin Grimm May 20 2008 06:46 PM

He probably doesn't want to be seen wearing that black cap.

Willets Point May 20 2008 06:47 PM

[quote="Benjamin Grimm":2ji4fnkd]He probably doesn't want to be seen wearing that black cap.[/quote:2ji4fnkd] That's it. I'll have to leave the blue hat around where he can get it.

metirish May 20 2008 06:54 PM

It's not the black , it's the shamrock on the side..... great pic.

Willets Point May 21 2008 01:45 PM

Here's Peter in action, laying flat out to stop a screaming grounder:

seawolf17 May 21 2008 01:47 PM

He didn't even have to dive for that ball. How Jeterian.

Benjamin Grimm May 21 2008 01:48 PM

Yeah, but look at that fierce concentration on his face!

Willets Point May 21 2008 01:49 PM

[quote="seawolf17":jiitm28e]He didn't even have to dive for that ball. How Jeterian.[/quote:jiitm28e] What did you call my son? [Slap] I challenge you to a duel!

AG/DC May 21 2008 01:55 PM

Indications of a lefty, actually.

Willets Point May 22 2008 12:48 PM

[quote="AG/DC":nqwrd3kc]Indications of a lefty, actually.[/quote:nqwrd3kc] How so, he's reaching with his right hand?

soupcan May 22 2008 12:57 PM

[quote="Willets Point":1e1edaga]How so, he's reaching with his right hand?[/quote:1e1edaga] And that would be his glove hand.

Benjamin Grimm May 22 2008 12:58 PM

I don't think babies think that way.

AG/DC May 22 2008 12:59 PM

Yup.

Willets Point May 22 2008 01:10 PM

[quote="soupcan":3k36c20x][quote="Willets Point":3k36c20x]How so, he's reaching with his right hand?[/quote:3k36c20x] And that would be his glove hand.[/quote:3k36c20x] You're correct. I'm a dumbass.

soupcan May 22 2008 01:14 PM

Don't be so hard on yourself, perhaps he's attempting to bare-hand the slow roller?
