Major League Baseball has warned players not to write on their baseball caps after San Francisco Giants players wrote Bible verses on the custom hats they wore during the team’s LGBT pride night.
“The writing on the cap violates our rules and consistent with normal practice we have warned the players about future violations," MLB Chief Communications Officer Pat Courtney said in a statement provided to Outsports on Monday.
Courtney’s statement comes three days after three Giants players, including starting pittcher Landen Roupp, included a reference to Genesis 9:12-16on their pride night cap, which featured the team’s logo emblazoned with the rainbow colors that have come to symbolize LGBT advocacy.
Genesis 9:12-16 states: “And God said, ‘This 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: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.’”
