Glenn Burke

Remembering Professional Baseball star, Glenn Burke, who was abused by his sport when his sexual orientation became apparent. From a rising star with the Dodgers, to a dismal trade to the A's where it's manager, Billy Martin openly referred to him as the "faggot player". He was drummed out by the age of 26... So sad.

There is a great documentary about Glenn"OUT,THE GLENN BURKE STORY". I recommend it to all jocks, gay or straight, and even for those who do not like sports. I knew Glenn as a friend, and had a cameo in the film.
