WIP's Startare pulls a Bob Costas

Bob Costas once jokingly promised Minnesota Twins Hall of Fame center fielder Kirby Puckett that if he was batting over .350 by the time his child was born he would name the baby Kirby.

Sure enough, Kirby was hitting better than .350 and Bob kind of relented naming his son Keith Michael Kirby Costas.

History repeated itself on a local level when WIP personality Brian Startare made good on a promise to name his son after Cole Hamels if the Phillies won the World Series.

Braydon Cole Startare was born on Friday.
