In a moment of pure joy, Ben Rice — the smiling face of the New York Yankees — and his girlfriend Sara Falkson shared the emotional news: she was four months pregnant. There was no loud cheer, no flashy slogan — just a gentle announcement on social media, but the love and excitement spread throughout Wrigley Field.
“A Quiet Announcement, A Loud Celebration”
Sara, a former hockey captain at Dartmouth and a design engineer at IBM who is currently pursuing a master’s degree at Harvard — brought a romantic story that anyone would nod to: talent, beauty, and now a new calling. Ben couldn’t hide his happiness as he shared the message before the smiling image of his future mother. The entire Yankees fan community immediately erupted in joy from “Beantown” to the Bronx.
Sara — Rice’s companion, from school to… motherhood
The couple spent their high school years together at Noble & Greenough High School and continued together at Dartmouth College — where Sara was the captain of the women’s hockey team, while Ben pursued his baseball dreams, eventually being drafted by the Yankees in 2021. Many fans left warm congratulations: “Congratulations to you both! The bluntest phrase: the baby will be a real Yankees fan!”
Double joy – Career on the rise
In the 2025 season, Ben Rice is becoming an indispensable factor for the Yankees. With a stable batting rate and a strong fighting spirit, the fact that he is about to welcome a new baby into the family makes every moment on the field and in real life more meaningful.
“Life is not just a track – it’s a journey with a friend to walk with”
A simple message but containing so much sweetness. Ben Rice not only scored points with his shots, but also left a mark in the hearts of fans with his real-life love. Let’s wish the little angel of the Rice-Falkson family a healthy birth, and that Ben’s brilliant career will be even more brilliant with the joy of becoming a father for the first time.
