In his first game since sharing videos that endorsed boycotts of Target and Bud Light, Anthony Bass was booed by his own home crowd.

The Toronto Blue Jays pitcher entered the game against the Milwaukee Brewers in the top of the ninth with his team trailing, 4-2.

Bass, 35, shared a video to his Instagram Stories Monday from a creator named Ryan Miller, who called on Christians to join the boycotts after the retail giant faced massive backlash this month over its Pride Month collection.

That followed Bud Light’s partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney in March.

Two days later, Bass apologized.

"I’ll make this quick," Bass said. "I recognize yesterday that I made a post that was hurtful to the Pride community, which includes friends of mine and close family members of mine, and I am truly sorry for that.

"I just spoke with my teammates and shared with them my actions yesterday. I apologized with them and, as of right now, I am using the Blue Jays’ resources to better educate myself to make better decisions moving forward.

"The ballpark is for everybody. We include all fans at the ballpark, and we want to welcome everybody. That’s all I have to say."
