1. During Saturday’s Dodgers-Giants game that aired regionally on Fox, the network showed a first pitch thrown out by Nascar driver Kurt Busch.
However, Busch threw out the first pitch before Thursday’s Giants’ game. Amy Schneider, known for a memorable 40-game winning streak on Jeopardy!, threw out the first pitch on Saturday, which was Pride Day at Oracle Park.
People assumed Fox swapped out Schneider’s first pitch for Busch’s first pitch because Schneider is transgender.
Giants broadcaster Duane Kiper brought attention to this story when he called out Fox for the first-pitch swap while calling Sunday’s game.
