Yankee Pride Night Is Monday

[+ Lucky]

The Yankees are giving away a cap with NY in rainbow lettering on June 16th. I would be thrilled if someone would get the cap for me!

Legacy of Pride

Monday, June 16

A portion of every ticket sold in this special event ticket offer will benefit The Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative.

The Yankees' support of New York’s Legacy of Pride will be spotlighted in an on-field ceremony prior to the Yankees-Angels game on Monday, June 16, as the Yankees-Stonewall Scholarship Initiative takes center stage. Created in June 2019 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Inn Uprising, the initiative annually awards five $10,000 scholarships to student leaders representing each of the five boroughs who have demonstrated academic achievement, a commitment to equality, and impactful support for the LGBTQ+ community. The Yankee-Stonewall Scholarships are intended to provide resources to launch the honorees' educational and career goals.

Each Special Event Ticket includes:

• Game Ticket: Monday, June 16 vs. Los Angeles Angels
• Special Event Item: A New York Yankees hat with the Yankees logo in the Progress Pride Flag colors

Please note that you must purchase a Special Event Ticket in order to have access to this exclusive offer.

Item Pickup: Instructions for item pickup will be sent to buyers prior to the event.

You can also check eBay after the game as well.

I'd purchase a ticket if Aaron Judge was personally handing them out.

Because I live in California and the Yankees were playing a California team, I was blacked out of the Yankees network and had to watch the game on the Angels network. The announcers there made no mention of Pride night. As I looked at the stadium crowds, I saw no one wearing the Yankee Pride cap, especially the players.

I think it's a further stab in the back to LGBTQ Pride and the people who are encompassed in it. It's getting more popular to ignore gays, as witnessed by the companies dropping out of supporting Gay Pride events,

Hopefully someone here watched the YES network game and saw something to honor Pride night. If so, please let me know.
