David Denson, who plays for Rookie-level Helena in the Brewers' organization, revealed to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Saturday night that he is gay.
Denson is the first active player affiliated with a Major League organization to come out publicly. Late former Major Leaguer Glenn Burke's homosexuality was revealed to the public in an Inside Sports magazine article after he retired from baseball in 1982, and current MLB Ambassador of Inclusion Billy Bean, who played in the big leagues from 1987 to 1995, also came out after retirement.
