Get Him a Catcher's Mitt
Ty Wigginton added catcher to his resume of positions last December:
According to a report in the St. Petersburg Times, Wigginton's wife, Angela, went into intense labor two weeks early. Against the clock, Ty was forced to deliver the baby in the bedroom closet of the their new North Carolina home.
Talk about clutch.
"He was out in less than a minute," Ty told the Times. "One or two pushes, and he was ready to see the world."
The birth wasn't quite as easy as Ty makes it seem. According to the Times, Ty listened to step-by-step instructions from the 911 operator as the couple's 3-year-old son Chase screamed, "Is Mommy o-tay?" With the healthy baby safely out, Ty handed Angela the phone so he could tie the umbilical cord with his shoelace.
"I think adrenaline took over. It's kind of all a blur," Ty told the newspaper. "It was unbelievable."
No error on that play. And they named the baby Cannon!
