“Now in 2023, Major League Baseball is standing by as our national pastime is desecrated by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, an anti-Catholic hate group with a history of religious bigotry,” Pence wrote in the letter. “For reasons completely beyond understanding, the Los Angeles Dodgers decided to give an award to the ‘Sisters,’ giving a public platform and spotlight for their indecency that risks sexualizing young children.”

“While baseball has had a bad streak over the past few years, that does not mean the book is closed on the MLB. ‘Pride Night,’ when the Dodgers will recognize the ‘Sisters,’ is not until June 16. It is still not too late to reverse course and recover the reputation of American baseball,” Pence added.

Pence also referenced MLB’s decision to move the All Star game from Atlanta in protest of a law which required voter ID to cast a ballot in the state.

[Good point about MLB’s line in the sand in Georgia. Kudos to Pence for speaking up. — Ed]
