Anthony Rizzo showed up and excelled for the Yankees through the entire postseason in every single way. He's a winning player who you want on your side when your back is against the wall. And if you can't see that, you probably shouldn't be working in baseball.

Any Fall Classic story can cover the stars everybody knows like Ohtani and Guerrero. But only my World Series preview analyzes the match-up that truly matters: Tom Daley's first pitch vs. the Toronto Gay Men's Chorus.

In that few seconds where “The Traitors” cut to Tom Daley scrubbing his back under the shower head, the resulting gay dopamine hit could only be properly measured in units of Beyonce tickets.

Every baseball writer worth their salt has published a postseason preview today. This is the only one your eyes will thank you for reading.

In each of the three previous seasons, Hendriks' Clemente Award bio contained references to his support for the LGBTQ community. In 2025, there is nary a mention. Gosh, what might have changed in the past year to cause such an omission?

It would be wonderful if Kershaw's many moments of baseball joy were the only memories of his Hall of Fame career that I’d be taking with me. Alas, for any LGBTQ baseball fan, his legacy can’t be that uncomplicated.

When I was in Atlanta, I planned the most Ken Schultz doubleheader I could think of: find the “Love, Simon” house in the afternoon and go to a Braves game that night.

The NFL is a much more interesting and fulfilling league when it has room for people who dream like the Vikings cheerleaders and people who dream like J.J. McCarthy.

After observing football fans freaking out about male cheerleaders, I wrote about that time a baseball team went full camp with its anti-mascot. In 1984 no less! Crazy Crab 4eva!

My nine year old self is going to disown me for writing this but the baseball figure I was cheering the loudest this weekend was an umpire. Jen Pawol is an inspiration.

In the same year the White Sox held Disco Demolition Night and finished 5th, new HOFer Dave Parker and the Pirates adopted a gay disco anthem as their team song and won the World Series.

Of all the euphemisms I came up with for this piece (and there are A LOT), the one I'm most proud of is "his little Baker was signaling a first down."

Can an MLB Pride Night still thrive when the team stinks, it's 100 degrees out, and the opposing pitcher throws a one-hitter? Chappell Roan and the Orioles said "It's where I belong..."

When the Toronto Blue Jays want to show what their city and country are all about, the first place they turn to is its gay men’s chorus.

The only way the Chanticleer could be any gayer would be if you lifted off the mascot head Scooby Doo-style to reveal Harvey Fierstein.
