The Phillies may not have had much to celebrate in their 10–4 loss to the Giants on Monday night, but Bryce Harper turned his first plate appearance into a moment to remember, for reasons far beyond baseball.<\/p>
As Bryce Harper stepped up to the batter’s box in the first inning, fans noticed something unusual: he was holding a bright blue bat. It wasn’t a new bat (since those are in fashion) nor a style choice – it was the reveal. Bryce Harper and his wife, Kayla, are expecting their fourth child, and the blue bat meant one thing: it’s a boy.<\/p>
