Discussions and reactions around baseball this month shine a light on the sport's outreach efforts and longstanding biases.
This year, Chicago White Sox minor leaguer Anderson Comás came out on social media. At the beginning of Pride Month, he spoke to reporters.
Comás said some of his teammates and coaches already knew. He said nothing changed when he came out publicly, at least not in the organization. At times in recent baseball history, the idea of a gay player finding that kind of comfort in a major league organization was unthinkable.“It’s still a little bit hard for us to be out there visible in the public area because of people’s judgment and all that.
“Our commitment is to make everyone feel welcome and included in Rangers baseball. That means in our ballpark, at every game, and in all we do — for both our fans and our employees,” the Rangers said in a statement, adding that they were a sponsor of the Gay Softball World Series and work with several groups in the Dallas-area community to foster inclusion. “We deliver on that promise across our many programs to have a positive impact across our entire community.
