MLB Warns Giants Pitchers Who Wore Bible Verses on Caps During ‘Pride Night’
- On Friday, the Giants hosted Pride Night at Oracle Park, where starter Landen Roupp inscribed 'Genesis 9:12-16' on his cap during the team's 5-1 loss.
- The Giants have a long history of promoting the LGBTQ+ community, becoming the first professional sports team to host an HIV/AIDS awareness game in 1994.
- Other players made different choices: reliever JT Brubaker inscribed 'Genesis 9:13-15' on his cap, while left-handed reliever Sam Hentges opted out of the Pride cap entirely.
- Asked about the inscription, Roupp explained, 'The rainbow is a symbol of God's covenant to us,' while Manager Tony Vitello defended players' freedom to express their beliefs.
- Similar inscriptions have appeared previously from Clayton Kershaw and Nick Ahmed, while Dodgers reliever Blake Treinen declined to wear the team's Pride-themed cap earlier this week.
