The Dodgers’ lineup has undergone several changes this season, but Friday’s lineup against the San Francisco Giants was unique. How it compares to the Dodgers’ lineup from Opening Day this year:
Gonzalez 1B Turner 3B
Kendrick 2B Gonzalez 1B
Crawford LF Kendrick 2B
Uribe 3B Ethier LF
For former Dodgers outfielder Billy Bean, LGBT night at Dodger Stadium represented more than just a promotion, a T-shirt, or some rainbow flags sprinkled onto the video boards.
To Bean, the only living openly gay retired major leaguer, Friday night meant real change.
“The players for the first time are seeing a different ideology then when I was playing,” Bean said.
