Clayton Kershaw didn’t say a word, but his hat did plenty of talking. During the Dodgers’ Pride Night at Dodger Stadium, the veteran pitcher took the field wearing the team’s special-edition cap featuring a rainbow-colored LA logo. But what caught fans off guard, and set social media on fire, was the handwritten message above it: “Gen 9:12-16.”
For some, it looked like a quiet nod to his Christian faith. For others, it raised eyebrows.
The moment was subtle but loaded. In a game meant to celebrate LGBTQ+ pride, Kershaw’s choice to highlight a Bible verse that describes the rainbow as a symbol of God’s covenant added a surprising layer to an already charged evening.
