Question: What happened during a 2012 Pittsburgh Pirates spring training home game at McKechnie Field that resulted in a bobblehead commemorating the event?
Answer: A woman gave birth.
After a woman went into labor during the game, Trevor Gooby, then the Pirates’ director of Florida operations, helped with the delivery. The team paid tribute to this miraculous moment later in the 2012 season with a “bobble baby” featuring Gooby holding the newly arrived child. The baby was named McKechnie in honor of the place where he came into the world.
