Batting for Jesus
Christian Century, July 24, 2007
BATTING FOR JESUS: In August the Washington Nationals will become the fourth major league baseball team to stage a Faith Night. Fans who pay an extra $10 will be able to remain after the game to hear a concert by the band MercyMe, hear testimonies from some Nationals players, and visit booths for Christian colleges and other Christian organizations.
Faith Nights are run by Third Coast Sports, which claims that its programs can draw an extra 5,000 to 15,000 people to major league events. After holding such an event last year, the Atlanta Braves decided not to let Focus on the Family participate again because it used the occasion to distribute literature comparing homosexuality to alcoholism. Some Jews have criticized these religious events at baseball games as being exclusionary. The Washington Nationals team is owned by the Lerner family, observant Jews who say they don't want to offend people of any religion (Washington Post, June 28).
