With a swing of the bat and puff of baby-blue powder, Braves slugger Freddie Freeman and his wife, Chlesea, revealed they were having a boy.

The video (below), filmed during spring training in Florida, went viral. And soon there would be imitators.

The Royals' Christian Colon took a page from the Freemans and revealed his baby's gender with a clouded swing at Kauffman Stadium after the Braves visited Kansas City in mid-May.

Now Chelsea Freeman wants to do the same for you. She is offering some lucky soon-to-be-parents a crack at finding out their baby's gender with the swing of a bat at Turner Field on Father's Day weekend. Details here.

See if you can deliver a hit, like Freddie.

(The powder-filled baseballs, by they way, were the creation of Chelsea Freeman's father, Josiah, and are avaliable for sale on Etsy.)

In 2022, Georgia Power projected its winter peak electricity demand would grow by about 400 megawatts by 2031. Since then, Georgia has experienced a boom of data centers, which require a large load of electricty to run, and Georgia Power's recent forecast shows peak demand growing by 20 times the 400-megawatt estimate from just three years ago.
