Pink and blue bats are normally reserved for Mother's and Father's Day in the major leagues, but Monday marked an exception.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper is expecting his fourth child later this year, and he wanted to bring the gender reveal to the field.

So, he ordered two bats, one pink and one blue, and asked his teammate, shortstop Trea Turner, to break the big news.

"He asked me earlier today to help him with the gender reveal. I was confused, at first, but I think he wanted to share that moment with us, and I think it was pretty cool," Turner said after the game.

But Turner wasn't going to get this chance and make it easy on Harper.

"I messed with him a little bit in the dugout. I picked up the pink one, swung it around a little bit," Turner said. "He thought he was having a girl."

But Harper came to the plate with a blue bat.

"He was pretty happy."

"He was nice enough to ask me to do it, and I thought it was a nice moment for him and his family. Pretty cool, pretty special day," Turner added.
