Billy Bean was the ambassador of inclusion. He was one of the first players to come out.
Arguably, he was the greatest Billy Bean, regardless of last name spelling, in MLB history.
Bean .226 5 Hr, 108 hits, .574 OPS, minus 2.0 War
Bean. 219 3 Hr, 66 hits, .542 OPS minus 1.6 War
I seem to remember the Tigers excited that they picked up the one with the E and were all ready to cut the plain old Bean loose after that.
