“Alleged” because this is pretty much the definition of subjective. Sure, it makes sense that people might celebrate the Cubs winning the World Series in such a fashion as to get a rise in the birth rate nine months later*. But the way that pregnancies work for humans is sufficiently varied that you can’t really count on any one outside event being a conception trigger. Or whatever the term is.
Also: why couldn’t this have been in Boston? Then I could have made a joke about the Curse of the Bambino becoming the Blessing of the Bambinos. I mean, that’s funny, right? At least dad-humor funny?
OK, I’m done now.
