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.

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?

When you think of great gay meet cutes, you picture a list with “Heartstopper,” “Red, White, and Royal Blue” and “Love, Simon.”

You’d likely have to scroll down for a while before you come to the former U.S. Secretary of Transportation. But Pete Buttigieg's first date is really sweet!
