LA Kings' mascot struggles mightily while helping couple with baby gender reveal

Based on recent video evidence, Bailey is about as dangerous with a stick in his hand as the team he supports is offensively.

With his Los Angeles Kings still enjoying the tail end of their summers before training camp for the 2019-20 campaign gets underway, their mascot had the opportunity to assist a local couple with a baby gender reveal.

Now, I must be transparent with you all. I have never been involved in a baby gender reveal. However, I know enough to say that this one involving a piñata didn’t go as planned.

After a number of unsuccessful whacks with the original weapon, the switch to a baton-like object definitely helped the cause.

When that still wasn’t getting the job done, a startling change in Bailey’s disposition could be seen. He dropped the stick, let his animalistic instincts take over and ripped the head off of the defenceless, colourful horse to reveal plenty of pink confetti.

Once again, I’m no expert. Yet, I’ve been led to believe that this indicates the couple will be having a girl.

That wasn’t the most important thing that was learned on this day, though.

No sir.

Upon seeing Bailey violently destroy that piñata in that backyard on that day, Dani and Steven of Long Beach have hopefully realized they should never let this savage creature hold their child once it is born.
