On Pride Night at Uniqlo Field, the Los Angeles Dodgers celebrated with their traditional LGBTQ+-inspired hats, but pitcher Blake Treinen made a statement by wearing the standard blue and white 'LA' cap instead. This marked the Dodgers' 13th annual Pride Night, an event that has become a significant part of their season. The celebration featured various festivities, including the unveiling of a permanent display honoring former players Glenn Burke and Billy Bean, who were pioneers as openly gay athletes in professional baseball. The Dodgers first introduced the rainbow-themed hats during a 2022 game against the Giants, making history as the first teams to wear such hats. Despite Treinen's choice to wear a different hat, he contributed to the game by only needing to throw one pitch to secure the final out against the Angels, leading to a 1-0 victory thanks to Freddie Freeman's walk-off home run. The following day, the team returned to their traditional caps for the second game of the series at Dodger Stadium.
