Gender reveals are the hottest trend in parenting.
And while we’ve seen some really creative reveals from professional athletes like Dustin Johnson and Joey Logano, we now have witnessed the biggest gender-reveal fail to date.
Kyle Tait, a sports play-by-play broadcaster, and his wife were gearing up for a baseball-themed gender reveal, but Tait elected to take the pitch instead of blasting the color filled balloon to reveal their baby’s gender.

In his defense, the pitch was a little bit high and tight.
The internet, of course, had a field day with the video.

Joe West says that was a strike.

It's analytics.. Walks are just as effective as hits.. But we may need to find more of a strike throwing, crafty lefty to pitch.. #Moneyball https://t.co/xJUo4y3uPG

Tait also made some jokes at his own expense.
