No, no, we're not supposed to project our hopes and dreams onto our kids. But that doesn't mean we can't set them up for potential success!
If it's a major league baseball player you want, here's what you need to do. (By the way, if the kid is already born, there's a one in 12 chance it's already too late to get involved).
To get to the big leagues you first need to give birth as close to (but after) August 1.
No, this has nothing to do with astrological signs, as one baseball analyst wrote (cringe!), rather, it's all about age. Little League and other nonschool-affiliated age-cutoff dates are July 31. So your August baby is one of the oldest (and perhaps biggest?) on the team.
No word on how best to break into pro football or basketball.
