Georgia State may not have invented the Great Baby Race, but 11 years ago they were among the very first to use it as a piece of halftime entertainment during a Panther basketball game. Now, 11 years later, it is a staple of halftime promotions throughout the country on both the professional and collegiate level.
Through the years, babies have won, lost, cried, and were even disqualified – for getting up and walking of course. There have been several close races, a couple of blowouts, and everything in between.
It has become arguably the most popular halftime "act" on the Georgia State Basketball schedule and over the years has attracted a great deal of media attention.
