One thing stood out when Joey Bart took the field ahead of Thursday afternoon’s game against the Washington Nationals.
The Pittsburgh Pirates catcher’ was wearing a pink sleeve on his right arm. No, it wasn’t an example of Bart making a fashion statement. It was to let the families of starter Braxton Ashcraft and his wife, Cassidy, know that the baby they’re expecting is a girl.
“It was cool,” Bart said on his part in the gender reveal. “He was like, ‘Hey, whoever’s catching that day, I need something.’ And I was like, ‘Only for you, man. I’ll do it for you.’ I’m not a super flashy guy, but obviously that situation trumps everything, and I’m just happy for him.”
