Gender reaveals are becoming more and more creative, but sometimes that comes at a cost.

Over the past couple days, two videos of baseball styled gender reveals have gone viral for all the wrong reasons.

In the first video, the husband decides that the pitch isn’t worth a swing, and lets the ball fall at his feet, leading to an anti-climactic reveal.

The second one is so much worse (or better, depending on your sense of humour) as the ball doesn’t break after being hit, but is instead sent back into the wife’s face.

My advice? Stick to the tried and true method of the  cute picture announcing the gender of your baby.
