We are deeply saddened by the passing of our friend and colleague Billy Bean, MLB’s Senior VP for Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion and Special Assistant to the Commissioner. Billy, who fought a heroic year-long battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, was 60.
Over the last 10 years, Billy worked passionately and tirelessly with MLB and all 30 Clubs, focusing on player education, LGBTQ inclusion, and social justice initiatives to advance equality in the game for all.
Billy’s 10-year playing career included six Major League seasons with the Tigers, Dodgers, and Padres.
Commissioner Rob Manfred called Billy “one of the kindest and most respected individuals I have ever known” and someone who “made Baseball a better institution, both on and off the field.”
Sorry babe we can’t watch an international competition of the worlds finest athletes competing in new and exciting sports we don’t get to watch very often we need to watch my favorite barely over .500 mlb team play one of its 162 games
The super rich are backing Trump like never before. More than five dozen billionaires are supporting his campaign for the presidency.
This thread will show who his billionaire backers are.
