San Francisco Giants pitcher Sam Coonrod recently refused to kneel prior to the National Anthem in a team-wide show of support for the Black Lives Matter movement. He cited his Christian faith as the reason he refused to kneel.

Mike Fiers, a pitcher who played for the Astros in 2017, told the Athletic last November that the team used a video camera in center field to film the opposing team’s signs to its pitchers. Players or team staffers watching the live camera feed then signaled to the batter what kind of pitch was coming. MLB opened an investigation, concluding in January 2020 that Fiers’s allegations were correct. The Astros’ manager and general manager were suspended for the 2020 season (the team fired both on the day their suspensions were announced). The team was fined the maximum allowable $5 million and stripped of its first- and second-round picks in the 2020 and 2021 drafts.

Former Red Sox player and cog in the franchise's 2004 World Series victory, Manny Rameriez shared in a recent interview that he found God and is now in seminary school.

Since 1932, 323 players, managers, executives and umpires have been elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. What they all have in common is that none of them, not even Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, or Joe DiMaggio, were elected unanimously.

Retired New York Yankees’ pitcher Mariano Rivera made history on Tuesday when he became the first player to unanimously be voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame and he gave all of the glory to God.
