Bart seemed to genuinely enjoy the moment too. As he put his facemask on, the broadcast caught him with a huge grin on his face.
The on-field gender reveal isn’t necessarily new, but this version of it was unique. Back in April, Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Brandon Pfaadt wore pink laces on his shoes to let his brother and sister-in-law know they were having a girl. That gender reveal involved individuals who were watching at home, though. Thursday’s reveal involved literally the starting pitcher and his wife, who was at the game.
