The Chicago Bear Baby
CHICAGO — A Chicago couple gained notoriety this week for having induced labor early in order t
o ensure they’d be free to watch the Chicago Bears play the New Orleans Saints in last night’s NFC Championship game. Here are some other couples who got their 15 minutes of fame in similar ways:
2000 - Steve and Alisha Jackson, who induced early so they could have a milennium baby and instead got never-ending arguments about when the milennium really began.
1986 - Pat and Maggie Dolan, the Boston couple that induced early in order to watch the Boston Red Sox and New York Mets play the ‘86 World Series and could never look their son in the face without seeing Bill Buckner.
1937 - Aloisius and Madeline White, the New Jersey couple that induced early in order to watch the Hindenburg crash.
