I had a cameo in this important documentary, however last night was the first time I was able to see it... and it knocked the ball way "OUT" of the ballpark! Here we are in the 21st century, and there has not been an openly gay MLB who came out while playing since Glenn. Put yourself in Glenn's spikes,and feel the pressure he had trying to hide in the dugout-closet over 30 years ago. This is a must for "Jocks" of all ages, and kids in high school.
Thanks Comcast-Sports.
