MLB Network will re-air the documentary of late Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Billy Bean, who died earlier this week of leukemia at age 60. The documentary, titled “The Story of Billy Bean,” tells the story of Bean hiding his sexuality during his time as a player and how he helped MLB become more inclusive after his career.
The documentary will air on MLB Network at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT on Friday. The documentary originally aired in 2022.
Bean played six seasons of Major League Baseball, and hid that he was gay throughout his baseball career.
