Philadelphia Phillies infielder Bryson Stott went the extra mile to help a friend make a special announcement.
During the Phillies' game against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Citizens Bank Park Saturday, Stott wore a unique piece of equipment for an in-game baby gender reveal.
Stott wore a pink armband when he walked into the batter's box for the first time in Saturday's game. Phillies broadcaster Tom McCarthy announced the second baseman's friend, Ryan Stevens, would soon be a father to a baby girl.
Stott finished Saturday's game with one hit in three plate appearances. The defending World Series champion Dodgers continued their strong start to the 2025 season, defeating the Phillies 3-1.

After a record 14 SEC teams made this NCAA Tournament, seven reached the Sweet 16. SEC teams also made up half of the Elite Eight and a Final Four filled with No. 1 seeds.
The Gators will have a chance Monday night to win the SEC’s first title since Kentucky in 2012. Florida takes an 11-game winning streak into the title game at the Alamodome against either Duke or Houston.

Dallas Mavericks minority owner and "Shark Tank" host Mark Cuban gave his take on transgender athletes in women's sports this week.
During an interview on "The Stephen A. Smith Show" Friday, Cuban suggested trans inclusion should not be "pushed down people's throats."
"To make it a national issue so that if you weren’t supporting the fewer than 10 trans athletes in the NCAA, then you weren’t a good person. People just aren’t ready for that yet. You've got to meet people where they are," Cuban said. "It takes time, you can’t just force it down people’s throats."
Cuban also suggested people affected by transgender inclusion policies in sports should not be used in political campaigns.
"Instead of trying to get where the people who are being disadvantaged and being discriminated against are helped, they wanted to make it a campaign issue," Cuban said. "Focus on helping the people, not using them to campaign."
A national exit poll conducted by the Concerned Women for America legislative action committee found that 70% of moderate voters saw the issue of "Donald Trump’s opposition to transgender boys and men playing girls' and women’s sports and of transgender boys and men using girls' and women’s bathrooms" as important to them.
Additionally, 6% said it was the most important issue of all, while 44% said it was "very important."
Cuban also suggested he supports women athletes who choose not to compete against transgender competitors, saying the decision of whether to compete against trans athletes should be left up to the athletes themselves.
"My attitude is if there’s a trans athlete, no matter what side, you let the opponent — whether it’s an individual sport or a team sport — you let them decide if they want to compete against them or not," Cuban said.
Cuban, a staunch supporter of former President Joe Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris and an impassioned critic of President Donald Trump, is one of the many prominent left-wing figures who have spoken out against the Democratic Party's stance on trans athlete inclusion.
Smith has repeatedly called out the Democratic Party for its stance on trans athletes, suggesting it played heavily into its defeat in the November election.
HBO host Bill Maher has also criticized Democratic support for trans inclusion in women's sports. Even Democratic lawmakers like Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass, and former Montana Sen. Jon Tester have spoken out against the party's current stance.
A New York Times/Ipsos survey found the vast majority of Americans, including a majority of Democrats, don't think transgender athletes should be permitted to compete in women's sports. Of the 2,128 people who participated, 79% said biological males who identify as women should not be allowed to participate in women's sports.
Of the 1,025 people who identified as Democrats or leaning Democrat, 67% said that transgender athletes should not be allowed to compete against women.
Manchester City have identified Florian Wirtz as the replacement for the departing Kevin De Bruyne. Transfer Talk has the latest news, gossip and rumors.
The Tennessee Titans may have just revealed to everyone who they are taking with the first overall pick.
Cam Ward has long been considered the favorite to be the top selection, and it seems like that will be the case.
The Titans were scheduled to have a private workout with Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who, at one point, was considered ahead of Ward.
But Ward has separated himself in recent weeks from the pack, and there is speculation Sanders is even falling on draft boards. Jaxson Dart is widely considered the third-best QB in the draft.
The Titans and Sanders agreed to cancel that private workout after the team attended his pro day, according to Jim Wyatt of the team's official website.
Wyatt noted the Titans have had eyes on Sanders for a long time, watching four years of game film. The team, Wyatt said, also thought he was "very impressive" at his pro day.
So, maybe they were convinced to take Sanders after his pro day, but considering what's transpired, that doesn't appear to be the case.
Sanders and Travis Hunter, both likely top five picks, played major roles in turning the Buffaloes football program around after transferring there from Jackson State to follow Sanders' father, Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders.
With his superstardom on both sides of the ball, Hunter won the Heisman Trophy. Sanders owns the all-time FBS record for completion percentage at 71.8%. He led the Big 12 with 4,134 passing yards and 37 touchdowns with a 74% completion percentage.
The speculation is that the New York Giants, who own the third overall pick, are big fans of Sanders. Sanders was given a pair of Giants cleats ahead of the Alamo Bowl when the Giants had the No. 1 pick, but they beat the Indianapolis Colts in Week 17 to drop in the draft.
Forward Trinity Rodman scored just over five minutes into her international return to lift the USWNT to a 2-0 victory over Brazil on Saturday at SoFi Stadium.
Flagg received the nod over Johni Broome, Walter Clayton Jr., Mark Sears and Braden Smith.
This season, Flagg is averaging 18.9 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists. Despite returning from an ankle injury sustained in the ACC tournament, he is putting up 19.5 points, 7.8 rebounds and 5.3 assists in the NCAA Tournament.
Flagg has helped carry Duke to the Final Four, and the Blue Devils are the favorite to win it all.
It will not be an easy task because the Final Four features four No. 1 seeds for just the second time in tournament history.
The Blue Devils will take on Houston at 8:49 p.m. ET Saturday after Florida and Auburn meet in San Antonio.
Flagg is the favorite to be the first overall pick this summer if he enters the NBA Draft. Flagg has said he wants to remain at Duke.
"S---, I want to come back next year," the freshman said in February. "I still feel like a kid. This is the only way I’ve ever known college. That’s how I see it. I really wouldn’t know how kids felt before, and if this feels different, if this feels more like being a professional. I mean, it’s the same thing for kids in high school, too, getting paid a lot of money. I don’t know. I feel pretty normal."
Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby and Dallas' Evgenii Dadonov each scored three goals Saturday during the Penguins' 5-3 victory over the host Stars at the American Airlines Center, a pivotal loss for the home team in its fight for the Central Division title.
