Xavier Nady Welcomes His Own Ball Player

Pittsburgh Pirates’ Xavier Nady, 29, and his wife Meredith welcomed son Xavier Nady VII on Tuesday, July 15th.  The couple’s first child weighed 8 lbs, 14 oz and both mom and son are reported to be doing well.  The right fielder recently explained his family’s 150-year-old tradition of naming sons Xavier.

You don’t seem many families following traditions like that anymore. Good for them!

I love hearing family names like that, and how cool (and rare!) that this is the 6th! Congrats to the family!

Just a little correction to point out: According to the original article, Xavier’s son is Xavier Nady VII, not VI.
