Since June is Pride Month, which celebrates the LGBTQ+ community, many MLB teams have hosted their own Pride Night at their respective stadiums to celebrate.
That prompted MLB commissioner Rob Manfred to answer a question about having a league-wide Pride Night in the future.
Manfred says leaving it up to the teams is MLB best practice.

«We’ve told teams, in terms of actual kits, caps, bases, that we don’t think putting logos on them is a good idea just out of a desire to protect players, not to put them in a position to do something that might make them feel uncomfortable because of their personal views,» he told The Washington Post.
Manfred added that it’s a «local decision,» saying each team knows their market well enough to have a Pride Night or not.
DODGERS INVITE ANTI-CATHOLIC GROUP AGAIN TO PRIDE NIGHT AMID RIOT
The Los Angeles Dodgers event will take place on Friday and has had a lot of controversy surrounding it after its re-invitation to the satirical protest group Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
The group is known for its anti-Catholic public displays, and Dodgers pitchers Clayton Kershaw and Blake Treinen have spoken out, as have others in the league such as Washington Nationals pitcher Trevor Williams.

Several teams around the league have had their Pride Night at the stadium, like the Nationals, while teams like the New York Mets look forward to theirs.
Many Major League Baseball players, including Seattle Mariners star Julio Rodriguez and Chicago Cubs starter Marcus Stroman, have shown love for everyone by acknowledging and celebrating Pride Month on social media.
At the same time, Toronto Blue Jays reliever Anthony Bass went public with his support for the anti-LGBTQ+ boycotts of Target and Bud Light, though he later apologized on his Instagram Stories.
However, the Blue Jays released him last week.
