he has two girls and his wife is pregnant. she did kind of an interesting thing where she got some balloon type things and filled them with gender-appropriate powder, then she and my friend pitched the balls to the two girls (he is a baseball coach and played college baseball). they made good contact, BANG, pink explosion. he played it off but i could tell he was a little disappointed. both girls are good softball players though and i am sure he will get the little one out there as well.
