New Hitter Arrives in the Fort Household


ATLANTA, Georgia, June 30 -- He's here! Ted and Wendy Fort's new Hitter made his arrival last night at 9:57 PM.

"He's a big dude," said Proud Papa Ted of their first child, "21 1/4 inches long and 7 pounds, 12 ounces."

And all is well, with one exception:

"Mama's doing fine. Baby's doing fine. Daddy feels like he's been hit by a truck!"

Asked the name of the soon-to-be junior golf sensation, Ted replied, "We put Yoda on the birth certificate, but the nurses looked at us kind of funny, so we're still undecided."

With Yoda on the line this early morning, a familiar sound filled the room:

"Talk to Yoda," said Ted, "Tell him something."

"WWWWHHHHAAANNNNNNHHHH!!!!! WWWWHHHHAAANNNNNNHHHHH!!!!!"
