Dozens of Major League Baseball (MLB) teams are planning for their annual Pride Night this month, and several are going the extra mile with drag shows, rainbow walks and LGBTQ scholarships.
The Los Angeles Dodgers came under fire recently after it was revealed that the team would be inviting an anti-Catholic group of queer and trans “nuns” as the guests of honor during the team’s planned Pride event. Out of 30 teams, 29 are set to hold a Pride Night event — the lone holdout being the Texas Rangers — filled with Pride jerseys, drag queen pregames, rainbow walks and even LGBTQ scholarships, according to the event pages.
The Kansas City Royals are hosting their event on June 16 during their game with the Los Angeles Angles, but beforehand, the pregame will feature the “Divas of Hamburger Mary’s,” with the five drag queens — Genewa Stanwyck, Jaharia, Minti Varieties, EV and Candice Marie — from a local restaurant known for its drag brunches and dinners.
“June is Pride Month, and the Royals are delighted to recognize love and community at Pride Night on June 16th,” the event page reads. “Grab your friends and join us for this special night of summer baseball, celebration, and festivities, featuring the Divas of Hamburger Mary’s. The pregame show will run from 5:45 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. in the Hall of Fame tent (inside Gate A) and you’ll receive an exclusive KC Pride Flag with the purchase of your theme ticket.”
The following night, the Arizona Diamondbacks will be handing out pride-themed fanny packs, according to the team’s event page. If D-Backs baseball fans purchase a “special event ticket” they will also be able to participate in the pregame Rainbow Walk…

“I will not be at baseball. Dead to me.”
Why do they try so desperately to please leftists who hate sports and drive away their center-right fan base? Human respect, corporate and community pressure I guess. Plenty of empty seats at the games but they don’t learn.
Will the pitcher be throwing 2 balls at a time?
Very good post and dead-on accurate, RD.
Victor Davis Hanson is always asking that question: “Where is all this cultural destruction coming from?” He always traces it back to very liberal and insane universities. It’s all part of Cultural Marxism to destroy the USA from within. They are playing the long-game on this and we are now near the climax where civilization is either saved or totally destroyed. There are many bit players in all of this (think BLM, antifa, the useful idiots who marched, people with “Love Lives Here” virtue signaling signs on the lawn, etc) all working toward the same goal. Many are ignorant foot soldiers who cannot see the grand strategy to wipe out the USA as founded.
Conservatives have been trained to focus on the war of ideas.
I was there in my college and grad school years.
I was wrong.
The reality is that politics is about power.
Ideas are just propaganda tools for those who have power, want to keep power or want to get power.
That is why the lefties focus on large institutions of all kinds.
They want you ordered to obey.
They want you to obey because you are afraid not to obey.
This is about power—whether it is perverts, vaccines, insane foreign policy, illegal immigration, supporting criminals etc etc etc etc.
If you are weak and helpless they are strong.
All that matters is who has the power.
Just play ball, not play with balls.
Good post and very true.
“The reality is that politics is about power.”
For most Republicans, it’s all about the DC country club and cocktail party circuit and paying lip-service to preserving what’s good about America.
For all Democrats, it is pure, unbridled power. As you say, they use extreme fear to cow the populace. ALL parts of the government are now governing by fear. Just look at how the FBI is destroying its whistleblowers. Look at the J6 prisoners. Look at the guy going to jail for a meme. Look at the NYC Marine saving his fellow subway riders from a deranged, murderous man. Look at what happened to those who didn’t get the COVID drug. Fear is everywhere now.
Why is that one can’t find somebody outraged about cultural appropriation when it comes to drag shows.... but is all outraged about blackface and other such things? What is there about men prancing about in women’s clothing that is not cultural appropriation?
