Jason Kipnis has made many fans happy for memorable hits he has had with the Cleveland Indians. But during a recent pre-game, two fans got something from Kipnis they will never forget.

Most of you know Jason Kipnis. He is a two-time all-star and AL champion with the 2016 Cleveland Indians; the team he has spent his whole career with.

Just last season, he sent Indians fans home in a frenzy after hitting a walk-off grand slam against the division-rival Chicago White Sox:

Before a recent game, Jason Kipnis made the memory for two fans that would last a lifetime… literally.

You’ve probably seen several videos now of the popular gender reveal. When young couples learn the gender of their future child, some like to have fun with it. This connects it to different sports.

The connection for baseball is somewhat obvious. A powder baseball is made that will reveal the gender whether it explodes pink or it explodes blue. One of the couple will toss the ball to the other holding the bat. They will swing at the ball, the ball will explode and everyone starts cheering for future Timmy or Tammy or whatever name they will eventually choose.

One couple at the Cleveland Indians game employed the help of Kipnis to make their gender reveal one of the most memorable in recent gender reveals:

How cool is that? Certainly, a memory that will last a lifetime as it is for their future child and made extra special with Kipnis donating his bat as a congratulatory gift.

They should be more grateful that it didn’t end up as a bad memory or a gender reveal gone bad. Although, there is on average a 30% chance an MLB player hits the ball at the plate, so good to see Kipnis overcame one of the biggest pressure situations in his career.
