Baseball Player

The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    His career was nothing memorable except for a stint with the Tigers farm team where he played with Billy Beane confusing many people.
    His name is pronounced the same as Beane's which makes people think that the general manager was the gay ballplayer.
    He hid his homosexuality during his playing career.
    He married a woman and then left her for a man, refusing to tell her that he was gay.
    His middle name is Daro.
    He was known more of a spare-parts player.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He came out in 1999 and is the only living player to announce his homosexuality.
    He wrote an autobiography talking about being a gay athlete in a professional league and the stereotypes that prevented him from coming out during his career.
    He is left-handed.
    He has received a lot of respect from his former teammates for coming out and explaining his reasons for being closeted.
