Bryce Harper, the Philadelphia Phillies star, used a blue bat during his first at-bat against the San Francisco Giants to reveal the gender of his fourth child. Harper, who previously announced his growing family to the team, collaborated with All-Star Trea Turner for a memorable reveal. Turner presented Harper with both blue and pink bats, teasing him before confirming that it was a boy. This addition to Harper's family, which already includes three children, is described as a joyous moment despite Harper striking out in his at-bat.
"He's a pretty creative guy," Turner said. "He was nice enough to ask me to do it and I thought it was a nice moment for him and his family."
"Any time you have a kid, I know it's a fourth, but still, it's pretty cool," Turner said.
"He thought he was having a girl, so I had to mess with him a little bit," Turner said. "Sure enough, it was a boy. I ended up handing him the blue one and he was pretty happy."
"I think he would have been excited either way," Turner said. "Now he's got two of each. I feel like, kind of a complete family already, but any time you can add another person to the family, I think it's special."
