Never Wake A Sleeping Baby (Even For the NY Yankees)

April 17, 2009 by Lance Somerfeld

Jorge Posda poses with babyHere is an NYC Stay at Home Dad moment to share now that Baseball Season is here…

Back in November, my son and I were cruising the town as the weather was mild that day. As we were heading up 2nd avenue, I spot Jorge Posada crossing the street in the 70’s. We follow him across the street and I said “Hey, Jorge, will you pose for a picture with my son Jake?”

He looks at the stroller, “you mean you want me to hold him while you take the picture?” (the look on his face was no way man!)
I explained that “I would never wake a sleeping baby, even for a picture with you…but when he wakes up he will have this memory forever.”

He obliged (see attached picture of Jorge Posada & sleeping Jake in the stroller), but I am not sure he was that happy based on his facial expression in the picture. Jake & I wished him well for the upcoming season!
