On Saturday, Oakland resident and trailblazing "Jeopardy!" champion Amy Schneider threw out the first pitch at the Giants game for Pride Day. Schneider, who is transgender, had the second-longest winning streak in the show’s history.
Every player on the Giants and Dodgers wore Pride-themed caps, in what had to be a major relief for MLB after several Tampa Bay Rays players refused to participate in their team’s Pride Night, citing a “lifestyle … that maybe we don't want to encourage.”
But while the team welcomed Schneider — and Dale Scott, the only MLB ump to come out as gay before retiring — there was one hiccup beyond their control.
