New Good Luck Charm

by Officer Dibble on Apr 29, 2008 12:42 AM EDT

I just wanted to say that I have managed to watch 2 games in the hospital with my now 4 day old son, and both of them are wins.

I'll take that winning percentage.

So I have to nominate my boy as the official Good Luck Charm for the Reds as long as his newborn luck holds out. Can someone give me a definite answer as to how long a newborn's luck is supposed to hold out? :)

Here is a picture of the beautiful boy:

Great Job OD Jr.

Here’s to hoping he doesn’t see a loss until at least his umbilical cord falls off!

The season doesn't start until the Cincinnati Reds take the field! Reclaim The Opener!!

It depends.

What were his APGAR scores?

Congratulations Dibble!

You’ll have to join me and cameron with him for a game this summer!

With any luck

He might be able to make one of the Cubs games that I have on my Power Pack in September…at least, that’s what I am telling myself.

Not sure I am going to want to travel with him much before that. :)

I took my son to opening day

It seems like a good idea...

until you try to dump sanitizer on everyone in your section…y’know…just in case.

Don't Grandkids count Caleb?

My guess is that this good looking kid looks a lot more like his momma that OD!

Congrats OD.

Nice

Congrats man, I think the Reds started 2-0 for mine too (they actually finished off a win right about when he was born – we had ESPN on mute in the delivery room so that was sweet) but it has kind of been downhill from there.

Wondful news

Our second will be here within the next couple of weeks. I have the same power pack as you so we’ll see if we can’t get the kiddies together out in right field or something. You’ve got a pretty good support group here, so if you need anything, do not hesitate. My e-mail’s on my profile, so give us a shout and best of luck. It’s f’ing defies words, doesn’t it?
