Grand Slam: LA Dodgers Honor Drag Nuns, Get Handed Worst Shutout Loss in 125 Years
By Brittany Sheehan | 8:30 AM on June 18, 2023
Following the Los Angeles Dodgers honoring a group of anti-Catholic “drag nuns” known as the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence on Friday night, the team has come up short in the two games they have played against the San Francisco Giants. The decision to honor the drag queens, considered a hate group by the Catholic League, led to opposition campaigns, boycotting, and gatherings ahead of the game for prayer and procession. The entrance to the stadium was shut down by religious protestors on Vin Scully Avenue ahead of the game.

Game attendance was reportedly well below regular attendance for a game against a major rival team on a Friday night series opener. The Dodgers debuted a pitcher on Friday, Emmet Sheehan, who has an Irish-Catholic surname (same as mine) and went to Fordham Prep Catholic School. Sheehan pitched six no-hit innings before he was pulled from the game in the seventh due to pitch count. The Dodgers collapsed after Sheehan left the mound, losing to the Giants after two extra innings, 7 to 5.
On Saturday, Los Angeles didn’t come near redemption. They were shut out, 15 points to a big goose egg. The Dodgers have not suffered a fifteen-point shutout at home in the last 125 years, matching the 1898 franchise record.
