Cheapseat Baseball


Welcome to Cheapseat Baseball, a weekly baseball history podcast from two friends who had the completely original idea of starting a podcast.  We dive into the great teams, great players and great stories... as well as some not so great ones.

Feb 24, 2023

This week Josh tells Tom about Glenn Burke and Billy Bean (not the one you're thinking of) who were two baseball players who after their playing days came out as gay.  Both had very rough stories for very different reasons -- none of which had to do with them being mediocre players or Burke creating the high five (seriously).  While we make a couple of jokes, we will warn you that this does get a bit heavy, but if we're a baseball history podcast, then it's a story to cover.
