Newborns at Cleveland Clinic hospitals are getting a World Series welcome to the world. All babies born during the World Series are being outfitted in a World Series Baby onesie with the #RallyTogether.

Nolan Jacob Kebert was among the first babies born at Cleveland Clinic's Fairview Hospital. He was born very early on the Tuesday morning, which was game one of the World Series at Progressive Field. "He timed it out  right," said new mom Kelli Kebert.

Jonathan Kebert has been a Cleveland sport's fan all of his life. "It's awesome he was born in a year like this. He doesn't know the 50, 60 years of loosing, like the rest of us," said Jonathan Kebert.

Cleveland sports holds a special place in the couple's hearts, particularly Indians baseball. Before it was Progressive Field, it was Jacobs Field. "We choose Jacob for the middle name cause that was were we had our first date," explained Kelli Kebert. "We were looking for something sentimental for us. It was fitting," added Jonathan Kebert.
