Overview

• Steven Kwan called timeout in the first inning of the Guardians’ 3-2 win over the Yankees to reveal to teammate David Fry that his second child will be a girl.
• The reveal was orchestrated with a pink wristband, an idea conceived by Fry’s wife, Rebekah, and Kwan’s wife, Samantha, who kept the gender a secret until game time.
• David Fry, a 2024 All-Star currently rehabbing from elbow surgery, is expected to return to the Guardians’ lineup as a designated hitter in May.
• The gesture highlights a growing MLB trend of in-game gender reveals, which gained traction earlier in April when Bryce Harper used a blue bat to announce his own baby news.
• Kwan’s standout performance this season has helped position the Guardians as a top contender in the American League, with the team leveraging moments like this to engage fans on social media.
