As part of Pride Month, the Orioles on Wednesday joined a large group of major league clubs by hosting an LGBTQ Pride Night for the second straight year at Camden Yards.
Billy Bean, Major League Baseball’s vice president and special assistant to the commissioner, was in attendance, throwing out the honorary first pitch while wearing the Orioles’ special ticket package cap featuring the pride flag on the brim. He praised the Orioles’ involvement and excitement about events like Wednesday’s, adding that he spoke before the game with manager Brandon Hyde and executive vice president/general manager Mike Elias about the organization’s desire to promote a message of inclusion.
