"This is not the first time a Major League Baseball player has used the same Bible passage during a team Pride Night. Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw wrote the identical verses on his cap during his team’s Pride event last season."
"San Francisco Giants pitcher Landen Roupp reclaimed the rainbow during the team’s Pride Night on Friday by writing a Bible verse on his cap as the organization had an LGBTQ celebration at Oracle Park.
"Roupp, who started against the Chicago Cubs, wore the special black Pride Night hat featuring a rainbow-colored “SF” logo but added “Genesis 9:12-16” in silver letters next to the team logo.
"The verses describe God’s covenant with Noah after the flood, using the rainbow as a sign of His promise never to destroy the earth with water again.
“And God said, ‘This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.'” Genesis 9:12-16
Reliever JT Brubaker wrote “Genesis 9:13-15” on his cap, and reliever Ryan Walker added a similar reference on the side of his." . . . More...
