Major League Baseball warns three San Francisco Giants pitchers after Bible verses were written on caps worn during the team’s Pride Night celebration. The players identified by multiple outlets are Landen Roupp, J.T. Brubaker, and Ryan Walker. They appear in a Friday game with the verses visible on their hats.
MLB’s response centers on uniform and in-game appearance rules, which prohibit players from writing on caps during games. Outlets report that the warning is issued because the text on the caps violates those standards rather than addressing the specific message content. The incident draws attention because Pride Night is connected to the league’s broader efforts to support LGBTQ+ recognition, while the Bible text reflects the players’ personal expressions.
Across the reports, MLB’s action is characterized as a warning to the affected pitchers, following the appearance of the written verses on their Pride Night caps.
