MLB’s Pride Night pressure is a swing and a miss for America’s pastime

In America, baseball is our national pastime, a unifying force that transcends politics, bringing families, communities, and fans together through the simple joy of the game. Yet recently, Major League Baseball has strayed far from that tradition. During the San Francisco Giants’ Pride Night, three Christian pitchers — Landen Roupp, JT Brubaker, and Ryan Walker — responded to team-issued rainbow-themed caps by inscribing Bible verses referencing God’s covenant promise to His people following the flood (Genesis 9:12-16).
