New York Yankees Set To Become Only MLB Team Not To Host LGBTQ Pride Night

NEW YORK (CBS News) — The New York Yankees are known for standing out from the rest of the league. But this time, the 27-time World Series champions are taking some heat for it. They could soon become the only Major League Baseball team not to hold an LGBTQ Pride Night event.

Twenty-four of the MLB’s 30 teams are set to hold gay pride celebrations this season and a total of 28 teams have held such events at some point. This week, Forbes reported the Los Angeles Angels will join the ranks by holding a Pride Night in June 2019.
