Major League Baseball: Throwing Out of the First Pitch!

Before San Francisco became synonymous with exorbitant real estate prices and tech bros, it was known as a beacon of acceptance for the LGBTQ+ community. While that distinction hasn’t gone anywhere — the San Francisco Pride parade is one of the largest gatherings of LGBTQ+ people annually, and it’s expected to get back to the 1 million-plus attendance mark in late June after a couple of COVID-affected iterations — Fox Sports isn’t here for inclusion.

Saturday was Pride Day at Oracle Park, and the home team dubbed Amy Schneider, a transgender contestant on Jeopardy! who won in 40 straight appearances, to throw out the first pitch. And she did a damn good job.

Boys of Summer, indeed!

Of course he doesn't know how to wear a baseball glove.

Start at about 35 seconds. He did better than Fauci, although that's really not saying much.

Well I hate to post on own my post but since no one else did. Here I am.

Only girls and faggots that never played baseball hide their index finger inside a baseball glove. Nuff said.

Interesting. I guess I'll have to be the one single exception to the rule as I am neither a girl or gay.

Dude, da fug, doesn’t your glove have a finger hole? A hard line drive might break your finger if it’s in the glove.

Dafuq? Just how delicate are you? What is another layer of leather going to do for you if you catch the ball improperly? This whole line of reasoning sounds about as useful as a football bat to me.

BTW: Some gloves are made to have the index finger go through the glove and remain outside the glove while the glove is in use. Some are not made that way. I have seen people leave their index finger out of a glove not made for that, which often forces them to wear the glove improperly. Best practices are to wear the glove the way the designer of the glove intended, well, if you are planning on doing any catching with it at least. Clearly, the person in the video had no intention of doing any catching that day, so who cares how they wear the glove?

Add me to the list. It was simply not comfortable for me to have my index finger on the outside and made catching line drives a bit painful for me, too.

Are you sure?

Let's just take the liberal leap and say that is a woman. What woman dresses like that aside from maybe 80s Cyndi Lauper?

That's the part that is so ridiculous is these flamboyant flamers that either act like, or have become women, don't act the way any women I know, act. It's all over the top theater.

If your hand hurts from catching a line drive with a fielder's glove, the problem is you are not catching the ball properly.

Only if I had my index finger on the outside. It's the way the edges of the finger hole hit my finger when the ball was caught. Always did much better (like on a date with a hot chick) with my finger inside.
