HITTING STREAK

Some soon-to-be mothers play Mozart through headphones on their belly to give their baby a taste of the fine music before birth. Some read their favorite poetry out loud in the hopes that the sounds will give their babies little brain a headstart coming into the world.

If any of these things actually work then our baby is going to be an expert on the sound of Derek Jeter slapping a single into right field because he hears that seven to eight times per night. (Jamie likes to use the DVR to watch her favorite plays from the game seven to eight times.)
