Doing it in Rookie Ball is iffy though.

 

If he was a top prospect in AA or AAA, it might be a more positive impact.

 

Gay male pro athletes need a top guy as an example. Not just borderline guys like Denson, Bean, Burke, Collins, Amaechi, and Sam.

Right, we need a star baseball player like Kris Bryant to come out and say he was gay. Not that he is gay but if Bryant would admit to being gay then that would be a big deal and further the cause in baseball being that he is a legit prospect. Not that he is gay but Kris Bryant being gay is a game changer not some guy we never heard of before and probably never will after this.

I don't know about that anymore. Things have changed a lot in the last 5-10 years. We have a new generation of young people who I think are a lot more open to this. It's almost shrugworthy at this point, which is good.
