Not Jays News, Per Se

Except to the extent that there is now one more Jays fan in the world. On Thursday evening, my wife Mary gave birth to our first child, a beautiful baby girl, Anna Mackenzie. Anna was 8 lbs and change at birth, and she and Mary are both doing fantastic. It seems like just yesterday when we learned we were pregnant. Actually, it was while watching a Doc Halladay 6-hit, complete game masterpiece against the O's. Appropriately, Anna is already the proud owner of a Jays onesie with her name and Doc's number.

Thinking that, given the neighborhood in which they live, his girl will grow up to favor the Alex Rios type to the Bo Junior type

Afraid that, given the number of people who have told him what a great father he will be, he will end up being the Russ Adams of parenting

Sure to remember random details of the Doc gem he was watching (Kevin Millar was 1-2 with a BB) better than the birth! Boo!

Just glad that Anna did not appear to inhereit his nose, which is alarmingly similar to Vernon Wells'.

congrats Hugo!

That's fantastic news! The birth of your first child is BY FAR the most amazing event anyone can experience (a bit hectic, but...).

Yer in for a world of shall we say "excitement"?

Oh and the pic link doesn't show up on my screen. Fix it please cuz i wanna see da baby!

My first son Hudson Dash was birthed while we all watched the Jays play Tampa in the delivery room (i insisted and my wife was in no mood to argue). i don't remember who won but i remember Gomes hitting a home run for the Devil Rays....

i'd offer you our old baby stuff but i think we're gonna need it one more time.
Our second boy is due at the end of May.

On the subject of joyful bundles, here's my boy Hudson doing his angry padawan impression:
