A baby, yes, a baby was born during a Padres game at Petco Park

Padres fan for life? Baby born mid-game at Petco Park

So, a quick recap from Thursday's Giants-Padres game: Derek Norris hit a three-run home run, Madison Bumgarner struck out nine batters over seven innings, Alexi Amarista hit a game-winning single, a baby was born in the third inning -- wait, what? No, yeah, this actually happened:

The boy was apparently named Levi (not Tony or Amarista) and delivered in about 20 minutes by stadium nurse/midwife Donna Borowy. Borowy has delivered babies before, but never outside of a hospital and, obviously, never in a baseball stadium. The mother and son were later taken to a local San Diego hospital:

He was the first baby born in Petco Park history and quite possibly one of the first recorded instances ever of in-park birth (MLB.com's rare feats unfortunately doesn't cover this stuff). So, congratulations on making history, mom and son. Also, Levi, you are now, quite literally, a Padres fan for life.
