Hello All! And welcome to my attempt at venting out frustration! I am a gay baseball player in the Major League Baseball system that needs to be able to express the person that I truly am, but can’t. Baseball is definitely ready for a gay baseball player, but America is not. I thought I would write down my random feelings and overall experiences being a gay professional athlete in America. We are out there. I don’t know how to find the rest of us, but I do know that as I travel and play for different teams in different cities, I meet a lot of people that know people that know people. I want to be able to share my frustrations and maybe get some open anonymous dialogue going here on the net. I do know that my location may not be revealed right away for fear of outing and losing what I have worked so hard to get. Little League, High School, Travel teams, College and now being given a shot to maybe become the next Derek Jeter or whoever you idolize in the majors.I want to share a little about myself. I was born in the Northeast and played some ball down South briefly before ending up where I am now. Like I said, I hope this blog can create a dialogue between the average American fan as well as other Gay Athletes around the country! Feel free to contact me by anyway possible.
