Billy Bean death
Billy Bean, second openly gay ex-MLB player, dies at 60
The former baseball player and sports diversity executive died at home on Tuesday after a yearlong fight with acute myeloid leukemia.
Bean's passing marks a significant loss for the sports community, as he was not only a talented athlete but also a trailblazer for LGBTQ+ representation in professional sports. His legacy will continue to inspire future generations of athletes to be true to themselves and to advocate for diversity and inclusivity in sports.
