Red Sox fans BEN AFFLECK and JENNIFER GARNER have welcomed their firstborn, a girl, to the world, but reps for the couple have not revealed the precious child's name.

Wading through floods in India put him on a level with a smiling man holding a precious sewing machine out of the water (Porbandar, 1983).
