It’s not every day that a baseball mitt tells a story—but this one does.

Recently, Dr. John Labban, a dedicated OB-GYN with decades of experience in delivering babies, received a one-of-a-kind gift from a grateful patient’s husband: a custom-made catcher’s mitt engraved with the words, “Dr. John Labban – World’s Best Baby Catcher.”

Crafted with care and humor, the mitt celebrates Dr. Labban’s long-standing commitment to guiding families through the birth of their children. The idea came from a patient’s husband who wanted to thank Dr. Labban in a creative, personal way. Knowing his passion for helping bring new life into the world the patient’s husband had the glove custom-stitched and engraved.

“Catching babies is a little different than baseball,” Dr. Labban joked, “but it’s definitely still a team effort!”

The glove now sits proudly in his office, drawing smiles from patients and staff alike. It’s a lighthearted reminder of the deep connections formed in life’s most meaningful moments—and the lasting impact a compassionate doctor can have.

This thoughtful gift isn’t just leather and stitching—it’s a tribute to a lifetime of care.

Thank you Gandalf for your amazing gift!
