Curveball: Another baby coming from Royals’ bullpen, Lucas Erceg & wife announce
Got your Royals pregnancy scorecard handy? Write in pitcher Lucas Erceg and his wife, Emma Erceg.
The couple announced over the weekend that they are expecting their first child. That makes three Royals wives who are currently pregnant ... and three more who recently gave birth.
The wives are all married to pitchers — obviously closers.
“Half of me & half of you,” Emma wrote in an Instagram post which Lucas shared with his followers. “Baby erceg coming this december.”
The couple’s announcement came with a carousel of more than a dozen baby-bump photos that earned kudos and compliments from other wives on the team.
“These turned out soooo beautiful!!!” gushed Tori Ragans, wife of pitcher Cole Ragans.
“These are INSANE. I literally can’t pick a favorite,” wrote Maggie Witt, married to Bobby Witt Jr.
“These are sooooo so so so stunning! so happy for you guys!!!” wrote Sarah Wacha, who is also pregnant.
Not long ago players’ wives threw a baby shower at Kauffman Stadium for Wacha and Shelby Wright, both pregnant, and three of the new moms in the group.
Wright, married to pitcher Kyle Wright, announced her pregnancy in April.
Wacha, married to pitcher Michael Wacha, went public with her pregnancy in March.
The “Bebe Cafe” party also honored new mamas Millie Lynch, Cassi Lorenzen and Becca Schreiber.
Pitcher Daniel Lynch and his wife had a baby girl this year.
Cassi Lorenzen, wife of Michael Lorenzen, had the couple’s second baby, a boy, in January.
Pitcher John Schreiber, and his wife, Becca, welcomed their second child, a girl, in February.
So, um, when can we start calling Kansas City “baby boom town?”
