Future shortstop prospect says "Sign me, Billy!"

by Ozzz on Sep 29, 2005 4:20 PM PDT

Jasper Parry was born yesterday, weighing 8lbs 6oz, and his family would like it known that with his long fingers, huge reach, and muscular forearms, we believe he'll make an ideal replacement for Cliff Pennington at shortstop in 2023.

But get your offer in quickly, Billy! Offers will only be considered for the next.. umm.. 18 years.

"FIRE MACHA!!!"

Awww!!!!

Soo cute!!! I love babies. Especially future A's fan/player babies. If your son grew up to be a baseball player would you make him be on the lookout for fans like me? Would you be scared? ;)

Only if he had a butt like Anthony Recker.

Or a big enough dowry. Heh.

Anthony Recker...

I don't think I've seen a picture of his face yet... just his gorgeous derriere. Not that I'm complaining.... ;)

Congrats, HollywoodOz

Was a little nervous that he was born with a white cap on instead of

But I'm sure you've taken care of that by now.

congratulations Oz

seems like there's been an AN baby boom lately, I have to break into the maternity ward of the nearest hospital and take pictures of the most athletic-looking baby I can find so that I can pose as a new father of a future A myself. 'Cause by 2010 or so this site will have been so flooded with baby pictures that my first-born diary will be passed over for a Huston123 freestyle.

oh, and is the full name Jasper Zito Perry or Jasper Galt Perry?
