Philadelphia Phillies slugger Bryce Harper used his first at-bat on Monday night to reveal the gender of his and his wife Kayla’s next child.
As pointed out by Phillies’ broadcaster Tom McCarthy, Harper was using a blue Victus (not torpedo!) bat. The bat arrived at the ballpark earlier in the day and was given to Harper by fellow Phillies’ infielder Trea Turner.
