When pitcher Sean Conroy takes the mound in Thursday’s Sonoma Stompers game, he has two reasons to be a little nervous.
One, it will be the first start of his professional baseball career after serving as a reliever in the team’s first 18 games of the season.
And two, as the starting pitcher on Pride Night, Conroy will be acknowledging publicly that he is gay.
According to the Stompers, Conroy, 23, of Clifton Park, N.Y., is the first openly gay player to enter the professional baseball ranks.
His appearance, as part of gay pride celebrations this month throughout the Bay Area and the nation, is sure to generate headlines for the Stompers, who won attention last week with a visit from the controversial and always colorful Jose Canseco.

You forgot to add a Barf Alert!
is the faggot pitching or catching?
Professional butt darts?
He pitches during the game. No telling what he does after.
Taking turns probably...
The sad thing is that this guy will be promoted to the majors, just like Michael Sam was drafted for the NFL. It’ll be another affirmative action promotion.
playing for who as I have never heard of them and who gives a crap if he likes turds.
So what? Are we supposed to be THRILLED about this man's sexual behaviour while he tries to throw a baseball?
I can hear the conversations in the bleachers now...
"Oh, that was a great fastball on the corner of the plate. He's gay, you know."
"Nooo, I didn't. Well, that just really explains a lot on how he can get the knuckler over with such ease."
"Indeed. I have heard that gays are so good at tossing knucklers."
In other words.....
I so cannot wait for Jesus to return.
So he’s an expert on foul balls then?
Pipe shots, also.
Thought he was a basketball player.
Heard he dribbles behind his back.
There’s not one black left handed gay knuckleball pitcher in the majors. Not ONE. MLB is obviously homo-negro-flutterball-southpaw-phobic.
Freegards
I’m gay! Look at me!
Who cares? Can he pitch?
Does he play for the Pink Panthers?
The least you can do if you’re going to post a picture like that is post some eyewash afterwards. Kate Upton would be nice.
