The Heritage High School Panthers in Palm Bay, Florida, have never had a winning season for baseball in the school's history. Coach Rob Querry told his team that if they get 14 wins, the number they'll need to have a winning season, they can choose the name of his son, who is due in September. The idea popped in his head while at a doctor's appointment with his wife. One guy on team said “Benny Smalls." The name is a reference to the movie "The Sandlot," which features a character named Benjamin and another nicknamed Smalls. This is an example of how pop culutre influences every aspect of our lives and can affect big factors such as naming a child.

Name that Baby
