Seriously... it's about time that the Philly Phanatic came out of the closet. -- nm - secretslacker Apr 23, 21:49
(1) not the first to be sure; and (2) who cares who anyone sleeps with as a yardstick for who to root for? -- nm - pigby Apr 23, 21:47 3
- oh i see now. fml -- nm - pigby Apr 23, 21:47 2
  - New York Gay Yankees is redundant, at the very least. -- nm - Reagen Apr 23, 21:48 1
    - Not "gay," merely heteroflexible. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Apr 23, 21:49
double check that URL, kthx. -- nm - Tim Apr 23, 21:46
Oh... I just can't. Who wants this one? -- nm - Reagen Apr 23, 21:45 58
- at the very least RC and Qale should be proud. -- nm - Stacy Apr 23, 21:46 57
  - Prolly the same reason I'm uninterested in the Miss America contestant scandal. It's just not hitting my interests. -- nm - Qale Apr 23, 21:47
  - or Ty or Dawson... -- nm - Stacy Apr 23, 21:46
  - He really tore it up in the Homo Leagues. Perennial All-Star. -- nm - TFox Apr 23, 21:46 52
    - His stats were asstounding -- nm - ty97 Apr 23, 21:47 33
      - I heard he sucks. -- nm - Reagen Apr 23, 21:48 32
        
        But he's great at the sac fly. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Apr 23, 21:57 31
        
        I hear they are switching him to tight end. - ty97 Apr 23, 21:59 29
        
        I heard he's asking for a trade, since he already hits for the other team. -- nm - mafic Apr 23, 22:04 28
        
        Regardless of which team he plays for he'll be facing stiff competition for the starting job. -- nm - Stephen Apr 23, 22:16 24
        
        true but this breaks a huge barrier in the gay movement, as he is the first openly gay player. I bet money he is the Grand Marshall in the SF gay - Stacy Apr 23, 22:23 23
        
        This is the kind of shit that makes people think you're playing a persona. -- nm - Reagen Apr 23, 22:32
        
        Stacy, please. *Please* tell me you are fucking with me. - TFox Apr 23, 22:25 9
        
        what? the story isn't a fake. This is a big day for the gay community, jsut like it was a big day for the black community when the color barrier was - Stacy Apr 23, 22:31 8
        
        thanks, captain literal. -- nm - mafic Apr 23, 22:36
        
        please stop. - b! Apr 23, 22:33 5
        
        its a fake??? FML sorry guys I didn't know. -- nm - Stacy Apr 23, 22:39 4
        
        How do you make it through the day without being kidnapped by elves? -- nm - Reagen Apr 23, 22:41 3
        
        *snork* - b! Apr 23, 22:43
        
        I think I just woke up my next door neighbor. -- nm - Tim Apr 23, 22:42
        
        *guffawing* -- nm - TFox Apr 23, 22:42
        
        yep, you're fucking with me. - TFox Apr 23, 22:33
        
        i'll take that bet. - b! Apr 23, 22:25 10
        
        p.s. - b! Apr 23, 22:26 9
        
        here is the same article elsewhere printed yesterday -- (link) - Stacy Apr 23, 22:37 8
        
        they copied and pasted without attribution. dude, you live in sf - do you not think it would have been all over the news? -- nm - b! Apr 23, 22:40 5
        
        I've never really read the Onion before I thought the story was real honestly -- nm - Stacy Apr 23, 22:42
        
        And you think there'd be awareness of Homo League Baseball there. -- nm - Tim Apr 23, 22:42
        
        Yeah, the Giants would have been like "whoa, dudes, we're in SF! We totally own this record, not this guy." -- nm - Beryllium Apr 23, 22:41
        
        Well, the Homo News. I think they cover the Homo League. -- nm - TFox Apr 23, 22:41 1
        
        we have gay baseball here so it seemed possible -- nm - Stacy Apr 23, 22:44
        
        "The children are right to laugh at you, Ralph" -- nm - Reagen Apr 23, 22:39
        
        that's not print, that's a forum, and the faces are photoshopped in that picture -- nm - Beryllium Apr 23, 22:38
        
        I...I got nothin'. -- nm - Tim Apr 23, 22:24
        
        awesome! -- nm - Stacy Apr 23, 22:10
        
        This is *excellent*. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Apr 23, 22:09
        
        nice -- nm - ty97 Apr 23, 22:05
        
        Plus he always keeps his eye on the balls. -- nm - Stephen Apr 23, 21:58
    - I just bought his rookie card off eBay. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Apr 23, 21:47 17
      - "Sure, Tyler did well against homo-league pitching. But he's not playing against the Boston Pink Sox or the New York Gay Yankees anymore." - TFox Apr 23, 21:49 4
        
        "the 'frisky ball' era of the '50s." -- nm - Tim Apr 23, 21:51 3
        
        "every time he goes deep in the hole, there's going to be an uncomfortable silence at the very least." -- nm - TFox Apr 23, 21:52 2
        
        "You guys are so wrong about Mike Piazza." -- nm - Reagen Apr 23, 21:53 1
        
        "Many say his gaudy .342 batting average, .4353 on-base percentage, and three Gold Lam� Glove awards during three seasons in the homo leagues..." -- nm - TFox Apr 23, 21:55
      - how much are they going for? -- nm - Stacy Apr 23, 21:49 11
        
        I only found three, and each was priced at $69 (buy instantly). -- nm - ReluctantCynic Apr 23, 21:50 9
        
        A steal. Look at how much the rookie card is for the guy who broke the color barrier. - TFox Apr 23, 21:51 8
        
        I have the card for the guy who broke the midget league barrier, but it's not worth much. - ty97 Apr 23, 21:53 1
        
        You should try and short sell it to recoup some money. -- nm - Stephen Apr 23, 22:00
        
        That's what I was thinking. The seller obviously hadn't heard the news yet. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Apr 23, 21:53 5
        
        "It all comes down to loose balls." -- nm - Qale Apr 23, 21:55
        
        I bet $20 Dawson is crying again. These barrier-shattering days always get him choked up. -- nm - TFox Apr 23, 21:54 3
        
        And his favorite team is involved, too, which makes it even more of a precious moment. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Apr 23, 21:56
        
        I thought he was crying because a girl beat him up. -- nm - ty97 Apr 23, 21:55
        
        I'm pretty sure he's crying but probably not for that reason. -- nm - Reagen Apr 23, 21:55
        
        OVER 9000!!!!! -- nm - Qale Apr 23, 21:50
  - THE ONION. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 23, 21:46 1
    - Or it could just be a false story. That works too. -- nm - Qale Apr 23, 21:48
