If She Goes Into Labor During World Series Game, Ben Zobrist's Wife Doesn't Plan On Telling Him
(AP) Royals second baseman Ben Zobrist has been given marching orders from his wife, Julianna, if she happens to go into labor with their third child in the midst of the World Series.
"She said, 'You just better hit a home run,'" Zobrist said before Game 2 on Wednesday.
She is due three days after Game 7 is scheduled to take place. The Royals currently lead the series 1-0 against the Mets.
"It's just a matter of I can only focus on one thing at a time anyway. She knows that. I'm one-tracked minded," Zobrist said. "So she already kind of let me know, if we're in the middle of a game, she's probably not going to tell me what's going on, and that's fine, because I trust her and trust our family members around her."
Of course, if there is some sort of complication, Zobrist would be there in an instant.
Julianna, a Christian music singer, has taken a light-hearted approach to the matter. She tweeted during Game 1, "If anything were to happen I would just take a selfie of me and the baby and text it to Ben after the game!"
