| A few weeks ago, an ugly rumor started that suggested a high profile major league baseball player was gay and was going to come out of the closet. After seeing some of these photos, I can't imagine how it could have been thought that any MLB player could possibly be a fayguller... |
| What is this...spring training or the Bolshoi ballet? Now, not that ALL male ballet dancers are gay, mind you..., but these pictures do show that an awful lot of similar leaping and prancing takes place at baseball practice facilities. |
| Deion!!! What the heck are you staring at...?! |
| Robbie Alomar needs to hope the aforementioned ballplayer doesn't come out of the Indians' closet. |

| Well Mr. Burns had done it. The power plant had won it. With Rogers Clemens clucking all the while. Mike Scioscia's tragic illness made us smile. While Wade Boggs lay unconscious on the barroom tile. We're talkin'... Softball. From Maine to San Diego. Talkin'... Softball. Mattingly and Canseco. Ken Griffey's grotesquely swollen jaw. Steve Sax and his run-in with the law. We're talkin' Homer... Ozzie and the Straw. We're talkin' Softball. From Maine to San Diego. Talkin' Softball. Mattingly and Canseco.

| Is he enjoying this WAY too much, or what? |
| Ok. Much of that was in poor taste...but the whole idea that a major league baseball player coming out of the closet is news is in pretty poor taste as well. Does anyone really care? It's just another example of how the media just can't do their job and report the news...they need to create it as well. By reporting stories that are not pertinent, like what a ball player does in his spare time has to do with the pennant races, reporters and so-called journalists are propagating our tendency to be influenced by sensationalism and hype. These photos show pretty clearly how things taken out of context can really put someone in what appears to be, a compromising position. They were meant to illustrate a point and done in good humor and it is hoped that no one was offended. |
