More than half of MLB teams offer an annual post-game program with worship and testimony from Christian players.
At least 18 of MLB’s 30 franchises—60 percent—will host faith nights during the 2023 season, research by ReligionUnplugged.com found. A handful of other teams have done so in recent years.
The Colorado Rockies (Aug. 20), Arizona Diamondbacks (Aug. 25), Seattle Mariners (Aug. 26), and Washington Nationals (Sept. 2) are among those with recent or upcoming faith-and-family promotions.
He Gets Us a media campaign touting Jesus, is sponsoring the Rockies faith event as well as others by the Atlanta Braves, Chicago White Sox, Miami Marlins, and St. Louis Cardinals. In addition, He Gets Us is advertising at Rangers and Los Angeles Angels games.
He Gets Us’ goal is to reintroduce people to the Jesus of the Bible and his confounding love and forgiveness,” campaign spokesperson Jordan Carson said in a statement. “The best way to do that is to meet people where they are. That is why you see our ads at a variety of events, including sporting events.
In past seasons, other teams have organized Catholic Nights (Boston Red Sox) and Muslim Heritage Nights (Oakland Athletics).
