I don't know when this is going to stop, but it needs to stop now. That is the constant homerism being thrown in the faces of we True Christians™.
Baseball has always from its beginning been a manly game. There is chewing tobacco and spitting in the dirt. There is scratching the groin area in front of fans in the bleachers. The batter will pound home plate with his bat and stare down the pitcher. The pitcher returns with a menacing stare at the batter. All of this is to signal God gave us this is a sport to be played only by heterosexual men.
Now we learn there is a minor league player flaunting his homerism in front of Jesus and baseball fans. If I were an umpire, he's be tossed out of the game!

MILWAUKEE — A Milwaukee Brewers minor leaguer has become the first openly gay player on a team affiliated with Major League Baseball.
David Denson, with the help of former major leaguer Billy Bean, reached out to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel to tell his story.
The 20-year-old first baseman plays for the Helena Brewers in the rookie Pioneer League. Bean, MLB's first Ambassador for Inclusion, disclosed he is gay after his playing career.
"Talking with my teammates, they gave me the confidence I needed, coming out to them," Denson told the newspaper. "They said, "You're still our teammate. You're still our brother. We kind of had an idea, but your sexuality has nothing to do with your ability. You're still a ballplayer at the end of the day."
