Major League Baseball is threatening three San Francisco Giants players with reprisal after they inscribed Bible verses on their \u201cPride Night\u201d caps in an effort to highlight their Christian faith amid the team\u2019s celebration of homosexuality.<\/p>\n

Ahead of a Saturday night game against the Chicago Cubs, star Giants pitcher Landen Roupp inscribed Genesis 9:12-16 on his hat, a passage that describes the rainbow God placed in the sky after sending a flood to wipe out the human race, only to spare Noah and his family. Roupp\u2019s fellow pitcher JT Brubaker inscribed Genesis 9:13-15 on the front of his hat, and pitcher Ryan Walker inscribed Genesis 9:12-16 on the side of his.<\/p>\n

Rather than writing on his \u201cPride Night\u201d cap, reliever Sam Hentges refused to wear it and donned the typical Giants hat instead.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rainbow is a symbol of God\u2019s covenant to us, and us as believers stand firm in that,\u201d said Roupp in an interview on San Francisco radio station KNBR. \u201cThere\u2019s no hate at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd God said, \u2018This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come,\u2019\u201d the passage inscribed by Roupp reads. \u201c\u2019I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.\u2019\u201d God promised never to destroy the earth again.<\/p>\n

All of the men were still permitted to participate in the game, but MLB gave them a firm warning against repeating their protest.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe writing on the cap violates our rules and consistent with normal practice we have warned the players about future violations,\u201d MLB Chief Communications Officer Pat Courtney said in a statement first provided to Outsports.<\/em><\/p>\n

Catholic actor Rob Schneider offered to pay the fines for any Christian player who wears a Bible verse on their uniform.<\/p>\n

\u201cMLB is ANTI-CHRISTIAN,\u201d Catholic actor Rob Schneider wrote in a post on X.<\/p>\n

The Giants have historically led the way among MLB teams in their pro-LGBT efforts.<\/p>\n

In 2021, they became the first MLB team to incorporate the \u201cPride\u201d flag into their uniforms. Back in 2011, the Giants joined the \u201cIt Gets Better\u201d campaign, becoming the first pro-sports franchise to support this organization focused on empowering LGBTQ+ youth. Several years later, in 2015, the organization signed an amicus brief in favor of Obergefell v. Hodges.<\/em><\/p>\n

The official 2026 event site features images of individuals in drag, men holding hands or staring into each other\u2019s eyes, women walking in hand-in-hand, and a daughter of two men decked out in a rainbow skirt and speaking into a microphone.<\/p>\n

In 2022, at least 20 MLB teams promoted or funded groups that advocate or are directly involved in child gender transitions as part of their Pride celebrations, National Review<\/span> reported at the time.<\/p>\n
