Baseball and Bellies Equals Happy Moms-to-Be
The New York Yankees and Mets may have no problem filling their seats but the city's minor league team, the Brooklyn Cyclones, may steal mamas' hearts all over the Manhattan area. In a tribute to expectant ladies, the team hosted an unusual, but incredibly awesome event: Bellies and Baseball: A Salute to Pregnancy.

- Minor League Action: Minor league teams often pack all of the action of their big league siblings, at a fraction of the cost and in a more kid-friendly environment. The games tend to be shorter and the stadiums often have barbecue facilities available for families to use prior to the first pitch.
- Pick Your Game Wisely: Free beer mug day may invite a crowd that you don't want your little one shuffling through, while star player bobble-head handouts might be more up your alley.

Even if you were the kid picking grass in right field during middle school during baseball games, I promise you'll have a blast when you're swinging bats in the sunshine.

The promotion, which the fast food chain first launched last year, gives out free Crunchy Seasoned Beef Tacos to all customers if and when a player from any team during any game captures the first stolen base of the 2008 World Series.
Wee Are the World: Kids Being Kids
Having a child with special needs can be challenging. Being a child with special needs is likely harder. When their peers run outside for recess or jump off a diving board, some tots with cerebral palsy or debilitating conditions find themselves watching from afar.
