Hot dogs and peanuts are familiar sights at baseball games, but fans at a recent matchup in Nashville experienced something unexpected: a baptism. After a game Saturday between the Nashville Sounds and the Memphis Redbirds, a portable baptistry was brought onto the field, where Nashville’s Brewer Hicklen baptized teammate Wes Clarke while players and fans cheered.
The Sounds are the Triple-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers. The Redbirds, also Triple-A, are affiliated with the St. Louis Cardinals. Nashville won the game, 4-1.
Both players wore “Jesus Won” shorts during the baptism.
