John Lawrence Sullivan (October 15, 1858 – February 2, 1918), also known as the Boston Strong Boy, was recognized as the first heavyweight champion of gloved boxing from February 7, 1881 to 1892, and is generally recognized as the last heavyweight champion of bare-knuckle boxing under the London Prize Ring rules. He was the first American sports hero to become a national celebrity and the first American athlete to earn over one million dollars.

Welcome to the world, Sully.
Best of luck.
Believe me, It's gonna be an uphill fight.

gets a "distinctive" name.

This one will have the "distinction" of going through life sounding like a law firm. Or of going through life as "Sully."

At least they'll all be in the same boat, today's children, each with his or her own cross of distinctiveness to bear.

They get better with time. (Until 14, that is.) Others have requested a better world. Let's all hope so. Congratulations to you and to your son/daughter.

You now owe the government, in rough terms, about 50 thousand dollars.

Welcome to America.

Just kidding . . . my grandson is almost two. He's very funny and charming.

What a good looking little boy. My daughter is only 9, so I have some time yet (please the Gods!) before she makes me a grandmother, but I am a step-grandmother of a little boy and little girl. I've only seen them in photos (there is a family estrangement between my stepdaughter and her father who is my husband, but I keep in touch with her for my daughter's sake) but I send them presents and hope one day to meet them in person. Enjoy your grandson!
