Blake Snell’s Newest “Dodger” Takes the Spotlight, Ready for World Series Game 1

Blake Snell’s wife, Haeley, made headlines for an entirely different reason this spring. The 35‑year‑old wife of the Tampa Bay Rays’ ace pitcher announced the arrival of their first child—a baby boy she has named “Dodger.” In a playful Instagram video that was quickly shared by the baseball community, Haeley introduced the newborn as a “fit for World Series Game 1,” a nod to the Dodgers’ championship run last year and the family’s love of the sport. The post, which features the tiny baby wearing a miniature Dodgers cap, has become a symbol of the intertwining of parenthood and baseball in the lives of the Snell family.

The Instagram Debut

https://www.instagram.com/p/C4W3fM2JtX2/, is a short clip that shows the newborn lying in a bassinet with a black and white Dodgers cap perched on his head. The video is accompanied by the caption, “Meet our little Dodger, ready to hit a home run in Game 1!” The clip ends with a close‑up of the baby’s dimples, and Haeley’s overlay text reads, “We’re officially a Dodgers fan now!” Fans responded with an outpouring of congratulations and emojis, many of which referenced the 2024 World Series schedule.

The Instagram link contains a brief transcript of the baby’s first cry, described as “the sweetest sound.” The post’s comment section features exchanges with other baseball families, and a few notable replies come from fellow Rays teammates, who wish Haeley “best of luck” as a new mom. The post’s reach—over 100,000 views within the first day—highlights the intersection of social media, celebrity sports families, and fandom.

Baby Dodger: Birth Details and Family Excitement

March 28, 2024 at 8:10 a.m. in Tampa, Florida. The baby weighed 7.5 pounds (3.4 kg) and measured 20 inches (51 cm) at birth. Haeley shared a photo of the newborn on a white blanket, with the caption “The first of many to come.” The image shows Dodger’s tiny hand curled around a miniature baseball bat.

The Snell family’s excitement is palpable. Blake, who has been a key figure in the Rays’ bullpen since being drafted in 2015, posted a short video from the hospital, saying, “We’ve officially got a little slugger in our house. Can’t wait to see what you do on the field, little man.” The video shows him holding a newborn’s head, smiling, and then gently placing the baby back into the bassinet. The caption reads, “Welcome to the team, Dad.”

In the same post, Haeley mentions that the baby’s name was chosen after the Dodgers, who had won the 2023 World Series, to commemorate the excitement that follows a championship season. “He’s going to grow up with the spirit of a champion,” Haeley wrote. “I can’t wait to see him wear a cap again in Game 1.”

World Series Context

August 8, 2024, at Dodger Stadium, the same venue where the Dodgers won the title last year. The official World Series page, https://www.mlb.com/world-series, provides a schedule of the eight‑game series, including the dates and times of each game. According to the page, Game 1 will begin at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time, with the LA Dodgers facing the Tampa Bay Rays—Blake Snell’s team. This matchup is expected to be a home‑and‑away duel: the Rays will host Game 2 and 3 at Tropicana Field before the Dodgers host Games 4 and 5, and so forth.

The connection between Dodger’s name and the Dodgers’ World Series victory is evident. The baby’s first appearance on social media as a “fit for Game 1” is a heartfelt tribute to the sport that both Snells cherish and the new life they’re welcoming into the fold.

The Snell Legacy

https://www.mlb.com/player/657423, lists his statistics: a 4.24 ERA, 112 strikeouts, and a 3‑1 record in the 2023 season, where he helped the Rays secure a playoff berth. The profile also includes a photo of him pitching in a game against the Dodgers in 2021, a reminder of how the two teams have met on the field.

https://www.mlb.com/dodgers, highlights their roster for the 2024 season, including stars like Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and pitcher Tyler Glasnow. The Dodgers’ page also features a history of their 2023 championship, with a spotlight on the “World Series” segment. The fact that the baby is named after this franchise adds a layer of sentimental value to the story.

A New Chapter for the Snell Family

While the spotlight has been on the baby’s debut, Haeley also took a moment to thank her family and the Rays organization for their support. “We’re grateful for the love from our teammates and from everyone at the Rays. This journey wouldn’t be the same without the community.” Her post ends with a photo of the entire family in a stadium, hugging the baby and holding a “World Series” banner.

As the 2024 season unfolds, the Snell family will have to balance the demands of a growing family with the pressures of a professional baseball schedule. The early arrival of Dodger—who has already been named after a championship franchise—will keep fans curious. Whether he will one day wear a Dodgers cap for Game 1 or a Rays cap for the next World Series is a question that will only be answered with time.

In the meantime, the baseball world will be watching not only for game‑day stats but also for the newest “slugger” who has already made his first pitch into the world. The Snell family’s story reminds us that even amid the drama of playoffs and championship games, the quiet moments of family life can capture the same magic that fuels the sport.
