For so long, David Denson desperately wanted to reveal to his baseball teammates that he is gay. He just never envisioned it happening in such impromptu and unstructured fashion.
A first baseman for the Milwaukee Brewers' rookie affiliate in Helena, Mont., Denson had just entered the clubhouse a month or so ago when a teammate jokingly referred to him using a derogatory term for a gay male. It was the kind of profane, politically incorrect banter heard in that environment since team sports have been around.
That teammate had no way of knowing Denson actually is gay, but the 20-year-old slugger of African-American and Hispanic descent quickly seized the opportunity.

In this way a minor league first baseman in Helena Montana gets big city publicity.
Keep an eye on this one.

Er, no.
Lindbergh made history. World War II made history. The moon landing made history.
A nobody in a nowhere league is the antithesis of history, especially if it involves confusion over basic biological and anatomical functions.

Sorry.
An athlete, with not quite enough talent to make it in the pros, coming out as gay, is no longer history making since Michael Sam.
BUTT... according to the agenda driven MSM, any and all athletes coming out as gay, is history making.

The first question that popped into my head was whether he was a pitcher or a catcher.

Congratulations David Denson, thirty years from now you won't be known for being a mediocre .245 ave. hitter for a nondescript minor league team in the Pioneer League who never made it beyond Missoula but rather a fat homosexual playing 50+ AAA or Major softball..............
To: Salman
Amazing how low the standards have become for “making history”.
A month ago it was a mentally ill 70’s Olympic champion choosing to wear a dress.

It did wonders for Michael Sam’s career. </sarcasm>
To: Salman
He’s a nothing player in a nowhere league, but now that we know what his “credentials” are, I wonder if ESPN has offered him a job yet?
Maybe covering the Little League World Series?

Huh? So the guy has some sort of perverted, obsessive personality disorder and he's in the locker room, too. What does that have to do with baseball history?

Wait. He's Black, Hispanic, and gay?
Wow, he's got the trifecta!
