Baseball team salutes pregnancy

NEW YORK, July 21 (UPI) -- Expectant moms were the center of attention at New York's Brooklyn Cyclones' win over the somewhat confused Auburn, N.Y., Doubledays, observers said.

The team promoted Sunday night's game as "Bellies and Baseball: A Salute to Pregnancy Night," which involved pregnant women rounding the bases, throwing out the first pitch and singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the "seventh-inning stretch marks," the New York Daily News reported.

Among the expectant mothers in the crowd was Nicole Bartos, 30, who was experiencing labor pains and said her water might break during the game.

Diane Haussermann, 25, who is due to give birth Sept. 16, threw out the game's first pitch.

Among the festivities before the game, which the Cyclones won 2-1, was a Lamaze class in the middle of KeySpan Park that drew confused looks from the visitor's dugout, the Daily News said.

Bikini Cyclist reveals all to fans

TALLAHASSEE, Fla., July 21 (UPI) -- A nearly-nude cyclist, dubbed the Classy Tallahassee Bikini Bicyclist, in the Florida capital has become a bona fide local celebrity, residents say.

A Facebook group dedicated to the Bikini Cyclist -- real name Richard Irby, 55 -- has gathered more than 1,000 members, and numerous fans turned out at a recent meet-and-greet to meet the man behind the bicycle, the St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times reported.

Irby, appearing fully dressed at Helen's Silver Bullet Diner, revealed to fans that he had suffered a traumatic brain injury when he was hit by a car while in high school. He said he still has difficulty walking and speaking, but bicycling is what makes him feel free.

"I ride in a bikini because it's comfortable,'' said Irby, who is known to communicate while cycling only by flashing the peace sign at fans and detractors alike. "I just love to ride my bike."
