Royals Fan Goes into Labor during Game

Royal baby.

The American League Wild Card Game was extra special for Royals fans Heather and Jay Speer. The excitement of the game had the then-pregnant Heather jumping up and down, which quickly led to contractions. They stayed home long enough to watch Kansas City collect the extra-inning win, then headed to the hospital. The baby's name? Brecklin William-Hosmer Speer. Now that's a Royal baby.

It's not the first baby we've seen with special ties to the Royals.
