It’s bad enough in sports to be sleeping with the coach’s daughter, quite another thing to be sleeping with the coach’s son.

[Jim from C-Town]

Yes, let’s honor a man who’s mental disorder drove him to have unprotected sodomy with perfect strangers at highway rest stops. An illness that cot him his life.

Good Choice. How brave he was.

522 AB,,,,,,,,,2 HR,,,,,38 RBI,,,,,,22BB,,,,,,,73K. In four and a half years.

Not even a mid-level utility player.

Of all the known deviant sexual behaviors (disorders), what gives homosexuality its special, protected status?

Revolutionary political usefulness.
It isn't exclusively the "gays" themselves driving this thing.

"...Of all the known deviant sexual behaviors (disorders), what gives homosexuality its special, protected status?"

Liberals and other deviants of all stripes?

[Jimmy Valentine]

And that is the money sentence- “died of Aids at 42”

When will baseball honor the first player to “come out” as a beasti?

Does that player have to die from a disease he got from that type of sex? Would he have to beceom “friends” with his coaches dog?

looks like i won’t be going to nor watching any major league games from now on

oh well.

they want to promote fags and the fag culture, then they won’t be doing it to anyone in my family

[John W]

Sign of our sick times.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

Did they? I didn’t see it.

That's what I was wondering...

[Reagan80]

Not televised (wisely so, imo; ratings have been falling fast enough already): just like the ‘gay wedding’ wasn’t televised during the Rose Bowl Parade this past year.

[I want the USA back]

Another once-great American institution bows down to the great god of political correctness.

[ilovesarah2012]

Why is someone honored for getting a preventable disease?

[ilovesarah2012]

Soon there will be a celebration honoring Sandusky.

[onedoug]

MLB “honours” homosexual based on nothing other than he was homo.

Where’s the muslim baseball news?

[polymuser]

Goodbye, America.

Glad I knew you when you were good, healthy and sane.

[golf lover]

Let’s hope they can find a transgender player to honor at the 2015 game.
