In April 2006, the American minor league Atlantic League of Professional Baseball formally announced an expansion team for the city of York.[5] One of the prominent members of the team's ownership group was Brooks Robinson, a Golden Glove award-winner, All-Star, and World Series champion third-baseman who played briefly with the minor league old York White Roses and later further south in the Major Leagues with the Baltimore Orioles of the American League from 1955 to 1977.
Brooks Robinson died in 2023 at the age of 86 and there is no indication of his continued association with the team at the time of his death.
I am also kind of curious if this is the first 'Pride Night' for this team.
I am going to guess that it was more than two or three players that refused to wear the Pride Jerseys or they would have just benched the players for the game and changed the rotation. It may cost them the game but they would not have had the embarrassment in the media of a forfeit caused by players refusal to play.
Your guess would be correct. Google AI found this: "Team general manager Ben Shipley noted that fewer than nine players on the 28-man roster were willing to take the field in the uniforms."
