Professional Minor League Baseball team, the Rochester Red Wings, held their first-ever Pride Night Tuesday night.
By all accounts, it was a big success.
Almost 10,000 fans in the stands, gorgeous weather and the 3rd largest crowd this season.
Even though the Red Wings lost in the 9th inning, everyone felt like a winner.

But back in May, one Red Wings fan trolled the Pride Night announcement, with a prediction: "I'm betting this will be the lowest attended game of the summer."

At the time, the Red Wings clapped back advising the troll to not bet too much dough on that bet.
You know I love me a sassy pro-LGBTQ Twitter account :)
Always a chance I’m wrong,but I doubt it.— JC (@CaCooYankee1) May 29, 2019
And once the tickets were counted, and a good time was had by all, the Red Wings didn't forget their little Twitter friend.
Which brings me to my favorite tweet of the day:
