My wife was in labor last month with our first child and while we both awaited his arrival, I ran home to grab a sweatshirt since it was pretty cold in the hospital. I decided to grab one of my Jets sweatshirts that I hadn’t worn in years. As I got back to the hospital and put the sweatshirt on I looked down at the sleeve…The sleeve was stitched with the words “The Guarantee January 12, 1969”…obviously in memory of Namath and Super Bowl III. Although my baby was due on January 11th and my wife began labor on the evening of the 10th, my little guy waited it out and was born on January 12th 2015 at 1:39am.
Unfortunately we did not name him Joe or Willie or Namath. But we did decide on dressing him as Joe Namath for his first Halloween! Might even get “The Guarantee January 12, 2015” as a tattoo.
Thought this was a fun story that I wanted to share with my fellow Jet fans.
