Despite other teams hosting a night celebrating homosexuality during "pride month," the Texas Rangers hosted a "Faith and Family Night" that included players giving testimony to their Christian faith.

The Texas Rangers billed the event as a celebration of their players' Christian faith and its role in strengthening communities.

"Join us for a special afternoon of community, connection, and celebration," the Rangers' website stated. "Tickets purchased through this offer include an exclusive experience featuring personal testimonies from Rangers players Wyatt Langford, Josh Jung, Cody Bradford, Jacob Latz, Jalen Beeks, and others, sharing how faith impacts their lives both on and off the field."

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott applauded the Rangers' decision in a post on X, writing that people's faith is celebrated in Texas, not shamed.

"The Texas Rangers are the only team in Major League Baseball that doesn't host a pride night," Abbott wrote. "This week, they're hosting Faith and Family Night instead. Meanwhile, MLB just warned Giants pitchers for writing Bible verses on their own caps. In Texas, we don't punish people for living out their faith. We protect that right."...
