The only team who have had players come out as gay is the LA Dodgers. Glenn Burke and Billy Bean both came out after their tenure with the team, but to date, no current MLB player has come out. These two players had different lives after coming out. Burke died of complications of AIDS while Bean is now a part of MLB management.
