Happy Pride my friends, especially to the LGBTQ+ members in our community! To celebrate Pride, I wanted to share an episode from my Bite-Sized Black History program that features a Black American who was LGBTQ+. So today, we're learning about Glenn Burke, who was the first openly gay Major League Baseball player! Glenn Burke was an amazing athlete and always the life of the party. He wasn't afraid to be his authentic self, even when people were discriminating against him. He is even credited with creating the high-five!  Glenn's life was cut short by AIDS, and I've included in this episode some insights and lessons I learned from an LGBTQ+ activist for talking to kids about AIDS, which I hope are helpful to you as a parent, teacher or caregiver.  And I hope by listening to Glenn's story and reflecting on his life that we can be part of creating change so that others don't have to go through the same things he did.    Get your FREE coloring page to go along with the episode Glenn Burke's story is part of my Bite-Sized Black History program, where I feature 28 different Black Americans who you may have heard of but who have largely been overlooked in the history books. Each person is featured with a mini podcast episode, coloring page and reflection questions to help the kiddos in your life really learn about these amazing people in a meaningful way. And to go along with this episode, I'm giving away the coloring page and questions that go along with Glenn Burke's episode!

Here is a StoryCorps episode about losing family during the AIDS epidemic  This video is about how to protect yourself and others from HIV. This video is about what it's like to live with HIV.

“A strong argument can be made that Fernando Valenzuela brought more new fans to the game of baseball than anyone going back to probably Babe Ruth's era,” notes baseball historian and New York Times best-selling collaborator Erik Sherman, author of Daybreak at Chavez Ravine: Fernandomania and the Remaking of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Before tackling the (largely) untold story of the phenom hailed by sportswriters as “the Mexican Sandy Koufax,” and assessing Valenzuela's impact on the game, Erik made a name for himself as one of publishing's leading chroniclers of our national pastime. As a ghostwriter, he helped to write Out at Home with Glenn Burke, baseball's first openly gay player; Steve Blass: A Pirate for Life; Mookie: Life, Baseball, and the '86 Mets with Mookie Wilson; Davey Johnson: My Wild Ride in Baseball and Beyond; and After the Miracle: The Lasting Brotherhood of the '69 Mets, with Art Shamsky. On his own, he has also written the companion volumes Kings of Queens and Two Sides of Glory, featuring chapter-length profiles of the Mets and Red Sox players on both sides of the storied 1986 World Series.   A 2023 inductee to the New York State Baseball Hall of Fame for his baseball writing, Erik lectures annually at the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. He is the host of the popular podcast “The Erik Sherman Show,” featuring interviews with sportswriters, broadcasters, baseball executives and former players.

This week Josh tells Tom about Glenn Burke and Billy Bean (not the one you're thinking of) who were two baseball players who after their playing days came out as gay.  Both had very rough stories for very different reasons -- none of which had to do with them being mediocre players or Burke creating the high five (seriously).  While we make a couple of jokes, we will warn you that this does get a bit heavy, but if we're a baseball history podcast, then it's a story to cover.

Heavy Head Season Three Trailer.    Excited & proud to announce the return of Heavy Head Podcast for its third & final season beginning New Years Day 2023.    Instead of focusing on individual mental health conditions, this last season we will attempt to answer two big questions. Where does stigma come from & how has our perception of what constitutes a mental illness changed over time?   To answer this question, we will look at six historical events in my home country of the United States where people were discriminated against, persecuted, or killed for the way they looked, felt, or behaved.    EP 1: “Our First American Kin.” (Jan 1) The white, European colonization of America & resulting genocide of the indigenous populations that lived here.   EP 2: “Witchcraft In The Whispers.” (Feb 1) The Salem Witch Trails of 1692.    EP 3: “A Fruit For The Crows To Pluck.” (March 1) The lynching of African Americans in 19th & 20th centuries.   EP 4: “If You Tolerate This Then Your Children Will be Next.” (April 1) The forced internment of Japanese Americans during WWII.    EP 5: “Are They Supposed To Be As Sick As You And Me?” (May 1) The medical experimentations on institutionalized persons of the mid 20th century.    EP 6: “Lovers In A Dangerous Time.” (June 1) The story of MLB's first openly gay player, Glenn Burke & the H.I.V/A.I.D.S crisis of the 80's/90's.    Catch up on the first two seasons now.    The award-winning Heavy Head Podcast returns for its farewell season beginning Sunday January 1, 2023.

Welcome to April 21, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate high fives and a garden for kids.  If you've ever given someone a high five—and who hasn't?—you can thank the Los Angeles Dodgers. On October 2, 1977, Dusty Baker hit a home run to put the Dodgers ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies in their playoff game. As he crossed home plate, his teammate Glenn Burke ran toward him with a hand in the air and slapped Baker's raised hand. This perfect bonding moment is widely regarded as the first ever High Five. The gesture has become so ubiquitous that it now feels like second nature in a moment of celebration. On National High Five Day, celebrate by putting your hands in the air and passing on the joy to a friend. If you really want to get crazy, go for the double high five.   Most of us know that kindergarten is where kids make the leap from learning at home to learning at school. This very important stage of child development was recognized by a German teacher, Friedrich Wilhelm August Frobel in 1837. He is credited with starting the first kindergarten in Blankenburg, Germany. Realizing that children learn through play and experience, his class was designed to ease the transition at this crucial stage of life. Here in the United States, the first kindergarten was opened in Watertown, Wisconsin in 1856, but it wasn't formally adopted nationwide until 1873. On National Kindergarten Day, we celebrate those special first teachers who make a difference in the lives of our children.  I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day.

We are celebrating the opening week of Lovell's most recent feature film, the romantic comedy "The End of Us," and we're honored to welcome his fellow producer, Claudia Restrepo, to discuss the wild ride of making this movie. Shot during April 2020 in those first weeks of the pandemic, "The End of Us" premiered at SXSW in March, and it is now available for audiences everywhere, all thanks to Claudia's stunning efforts as the film's producer... and production designer... and cast member... As Claudia informs us, pandemic filmmaking requires an artist to wear a lot of hats, but no one could have been more prepared for that job than Claudia. Claudia also reflects on her time as a creator and performer at BuzzFeed in those roaring days before the digital content bubble burst, and then we look forward to what creative endeavors she's aiming to tackle as a writer/director now that she's produced her first feature film. Plus, you'll never believe the remarkable connection that Roger and Claudia discover that they share live on the air, and we also litigate the politics of regifting just in time for the holidays (spoiler alert: Joanne made a faux pas...). Go on Instagram to follow Claudia at @clauddog, plus learn everything you can about the folx highlighted in this week's Gayborhood Watch: baseball player Glenn Burke, historian Eric Cervini and his book "The Deviant's War: The Homosexual vs. The United States of America," and creator Curly Velasquez. And don't forget to follow @rogerq.mason, @lovell.holder, @miachanger, and @dgonzalezmusic on Instagram for all your Gayborhood updates and check out "The End of Us" on all major VOD platforms!

Andrew Maraniss is a great storyteller. He writes sports books but not your stereotypical odes to star athletes. His books, while easy to read, have depth. They educate you and make you think about various socio-cultural issues, from a historical perspective as well as how they continue to impact society today. His first book, "Strong Inside," was a biography of Perry Wallace, the first Black basketball player in the SEC. His second book, "Games of Deception," is the story of the first U.S. men's basketball team at the 1936 Olympics in Nazi Germany. His most recent book, "Singled Out," is a biography of Glenn Burke, the first openly gay Major League Baseball player and inventor of the high five. It was recently named one of the 100 Best Baseball Books Ever Written by Esquire Magazine. In this episode, we chat about all three books, including interesting stories he came across in putting each book together, but we focus on "Singled Out" and Glenn Burke's life before, during, and after his MLB career with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Oakland A's. I think you'll enjoy listening to Maraniss, a good guy with some important stories to share.

Can a World Series be exciting with the games themselves being one-sided? That's where we find ourselves with the 2021 Fall Classic. As per 3SYO tradition, Adam Mamawala (Away Games Podcast) returns to break down Games 1 & 2 of the Series and there are no shortage of storylines even without much drama between the white lines. We toast the badassery of Charlie Morton throwing 10 pitches on a broken leg, admire Jorge Soler's studly magnificence, and wonder whether Martín Maldonado's RBI single was a sign of the apocalypse. Plus we let any lingering 2003 bitterness go in tribute to Dusty Baker, especially as we've learned more about his decades of empathy and allyship with Glenn Burke and LGBTQ ballplayers.

This week in anguish: - Vasily is exhibiting palpable joie de vivre, and it's putting some desperately needed esprit back in our corps.  - The terrible story of the 1995 murder of Peter Karlsson, then teammate of soon-to-be-Canuck Leif Rohlin, starts us down a long and winding rabbit hole that leads, dogleggedly, to Brent Sopel.  - How did we not know about Glenn Burke, inventor of the high-five, or Betty Baxter, BC volleyball mogul turned activist turned hall-of-famer?   Thanks for listening! This episode supports the Hockey4Youth foundation and HerosHockey.

Host Matt Sammon discuses the new book "Singled Out" with author Andrew Maraniss. What started as a random card pull from a 1978 Topps pack will take you down the life path of Glenn Burke, Major League Baseball's first openly gay player. Maraniss shares how Burke was shoved aside to an early career end, while we take a look at 3 players who were part of Burke's life directly or indirectly.

Well, the Olympics are giving us some great performances and amazing story lines, so we have dialed up an encore presentation of our 2020 conversation with a true grandson of Madison, Andrew Maraniss, about his award-winning book Games of Deception, the True Story of the First U.S. Olympic Basketball Team, and the 1936 Olympics in Hitler's Germany. You all know what basketball is, you all know what the Olympics are, you all know who Hitler was. So that part doesn't need any more introduction. As to Andrew Maraniss. First of all, he is, as you may have surmised, the son of two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and best-selling author David Maraniss and the pioneering environmentalist Linda Maraniss, born right here in Madison, now a resident of Brentwood, Tenn., with his wife Alison, and their two young children. David, of course, has also written a best-selling book about the Olympics, Rome 1960: The Olympics That Changed the World. I interviewed David about that book when it came out in 2008, but no longer have access to the audio. David has also written a book about Andrew's grandfather, the great journalist Elliott Maraniss, who I am proud to say   was also my former boss at the Capital Times. That interview, about David's book A Good American Family: The Red Scare and My Father was the pilot episode of MBB in 2019. You see how this all comes around? Like his father, Andrew is really good at telling historical and sports stories with a larger social message.  Games of Deception received the 2020 Association of Jewish Libraries Sydney Taylor Book Honors for middle grade readers and was named one of Amazon's Top Books of 2019. His first book, the New York Times-bestseller Strong Inside: Perry Wallace and the Collision of Race and Sports in the South, received the 2015 Lillian Smith Book Award and the lone Special Recognition honor at the 2015 RFK Book Awards, the first sports-related book so honored. The Young Reader edition was named one of the Top 10 Biographies and Top 10 Sports Books of 2017 by the American Library Association and was selected as a Notable Social Studies Book for 2019 by the National Council for the Social Studies. And, of course, you'll recall that Andrew was our guest in June for his new book about sports and society, Singled Out: The True Story of Glenn Burke, the first gay ballplayer in major league baseball. Andrew is a contributor to ESPN's TheUndefeated.com. and Visiting Author at Vanderbilt University Athletics, where he was formerly the associate director of media relations – a lesson in the value of leaving a job on good terms. He was also the first-ever media relations manager for the Tampa Bay Rays. You can follow him on Twitter @trublu24 and visit his website at andrewmaraniss.com.

Stu Levitan welcomes award-winning and bestselling author Andrew Maraniss for a special Pride month conversation about Glenn Burke, who was a rising young star in Major League Baseball in the late seventies until he was effectively run out of the game because he was gay. The book is Singled Out: The True Story of Glenn Burke, from the good people at Philomel Books, an imprint of Penguin Random House. Andrew is that rarest of authors – not just a true son of Madison, but a grandson of Madison, born right here in 1970 to Linda and David Maraniss, Linda an environmentalist and David of course also being an award-winning and bestselling author and the son of Mary Maraniss, a book editor at the UW Press, and her husband Elliott, the subject of David's most recent book and during the very period that Andrew writes about, my editor at the Capital Times. This is Andrew's third book examining the intersection of sports and society, and our third conversation, following Strong Inside: Perry Wallace and the collision of race and sports in the south in 2015 and Games of Deception: The True Story of the First U.S. Olympic Basketball Team at the 1936 Olympics in Hitler's Germany in 2019. He received the Lillian Smith Book Award and the lone Special Recognition honor at the RFK Book Awards for Strong Inside and the Sydney Taylor Honor Award for Games of Deception. He is also a Visiting Author at Vanderbilt University Athletics and a contributor to ESPN's TheUndefeated.com. It is a pleasure to welcome back to Madison BookBeat, Andrew Maraniss.

Alongside our host was Shawn Kelley, one of the founders of the Gay Games, and a key director of the first Gay Games held outside of the United States (Vancouver, 1990) and recent Vandy grad Braeden Abrahamsen, a trans non-binary standout on perennially-strong Commodores bowling team during the college career. In 2018, Abrahamsen came out and later told their story, co-written by Maraniss (check it out here). It was an excellence look back and look forward, and special thanks to Vanderbilt University for letting us be a part of it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On October 2nd, 1977, Glenn Burke, outfielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers, made history without even swinging a bat. When his teammate Dusty Baker hit a historic home run, Glenn enthusiastically congratulated him with the first ever high five. But Glenn also made history in another way--he was the first openly gay MLB player. While he did not come out publicly until after his playing days were over, Glenn's sexuality was known to his teammates, family, and friends. His MLB career would be cut short after only three years, but his legacy and impact on the athletic and LGBTQIA+ community would resonate for years to come. New York Times bestselling author Andrew Maraniss tells the story of Glenn Burke: from his childhood growing up in Oakland, his journey to the MLB and the World Series, the joy in discovering who he really was, to more difficult times: facing injury, addiction, and the AIDS epidemic. Packed with black-and-white photographs and thoroughly researched, never-before-seen details about Glenn's life, Singled Out: The True Story of Glenn Burke (Philomel Books, 2021) is the fascinating story of a trailblazer in sports--and the history and culture that shaped the world around him. Paul Knepper used to cover the Knicks for Bleacher Report. His first book, The Knicks of the Nineties: Ewing, Oakley, Starks and the Brawlers That Almost Won It All was published in September 2020.

To celebrate the start of the 2021 baseball season, should-be Hall of Famer Tommy John joins the boys to talk about his chances at getting into Cooperstown, the injury that nearly ended his career, his relationship with the late-Frank Jobe (and why the legendary doctor is one of the three most influential men in baseball history) and playing alongside Glenn Burke.

I talk to New York Times best-selling author, Andrew Marannis (@TruBlu24). His new book, Singled Out: The True Story of Glenn Burke, is out now! Glenn Burke was the first openly gay MLB player and was the inventor of the high five. Burke deserves to be rightfully revered as an important social justice sports icon like Jackie Robinson and Muhammad Ali before him, and Colin Kaepernick after him.  Andrew talks to me about Glenn Burke coming of age in the 1950s and 60s Bay Area during the Civil Rights movement and the rise of the Black Panther Party; How Glenn Burke did not come out publicly during his brief three-year career,  but many of his teammates, family, and friends were aware of his sexuality; and how Burke was driven from the game due to homophobia but left an impact and legacy on and off the baseball diamond with the LGBTQ+ community for decades to come. Also, Andrew tells me the story of Glenn Burke inventing the high five with teammate and current Astros Manager Dusty Baker; how Glenn was also the first MLB player to rock some Nike's during an MLB game; and Glenn dealing with racism in the minor leagues, homophobia in the big leagues and society, and the AIDS epidemic.

Sarah Langs joins Buster to discuss bullpen breakout candidates for the Blue Jays with Kirby Yates sidelined for multiple weeks, Tim Anderson as a potential MVP candidate, the best outfield arms in the game and a reset for Gary Sanchez. Then, author Andrew Maraniss stops by to talk about his new book “The Singled Out: The True story of Glenn Burke,” the inspiring and tragic story of the first openly gay player in MLB. Later, Marquee Sports Network’s Taylor McGregor previews the 2021 Cubs.

This week, I wrote a review of a wonderful new Glenn Burke biography called Singled Out. It's the most comprehensive examination to date of the life and times of the first openly gay player in MLB history and the numerous difficulties he faced during his all too brief career. On today's pod, I'm joined by Singled Out's author Andrew Maraniss to examine Burke's trailblazing legacy and the tragedies he endured in order to be true to himself in the conservative and close-minded world of late-70s baseball. Andrew recounts the incredible impact Burke made on teammates who embodied a range of personality types from Dusty Baker's coolness to Steve Garvey's "wholesome" image consciousness. We also discuss Burke's bravery in living an open gay life as a celebrity in San Francisco's Castro District at the same time Dodgers management did everything possible to keep it under wraps. Finally, Maraniss details the many prominent moments of post-Stonewall LGBTQ history that intersected with Burke's career. It's a fascinating conversation. And it's important that we tell all of Glenn Burke's story to pay proper tribute to his life--both the heroic and tragic aspects. You can purchase Singled Out here.

New York Times Best selling author Andrew Maraniss is back on the pod to discuss his newest book, just out on March 2 (!!!!), entitled Singled Out: The True Story of Glenn Burke. The book is about Glenn Burke, the first openly gay MLB Player and the inventor of the high five. This is an incredible and devastating story and couldn’t be more timely, as Democrats in the House of Representatives just passed the Equality Act, which is now on it’s way to the Senate and if passed by both chambers and signed into law by President Biden, would establish anti-discrimination protections for LGBTQ people. In addition, there are also several states that are currently in the process of trying to pass anti trans legislation in the area of sports. The story of Glenn Burke is ever relevant as we continue to fight for equal treatment for everyone, no matter their gender or sexual identity. Thank you to Andrew for coming on again and thank you to you all for listening. Please share, subscribe, rate and review Dear Adam Silver wherever you find your podcasts. You can follow Andrew on Twitter and Instagram. And you can buy Singled Out at Bookman's or wherever you shop locally! Please note that this episode was recorded the same day as our first conversation from Episode 72 about Andrew's book Games of Deception, so we just jump right into the conversation about Singled Out without any of the usual formalities. We were also having some technical issues due to weather which is why it is a bit broken up in some parts of the conversation.

"Singled Out" is a book, released today, telling the story of Glenn Burke, Major League Baseball's first openly gay player. It is the latest book written by author Andrew Maraniss, but no the first one on the former outfielder. In 2015, Erik Sherman wrote "Out at Home" along with Burke himself, and sat down with Maraniss to talk about the book, the man, and the impact he left on the game and culture at large.

Best-selling author Andrew Maraniss visited Digging Deep to discuss his new book "Singled Out" on former major leaguer Glenn Burke. Maraniss discussed his career, his approach to writing and Burke's life and obstacles as a gay athlete.

In a little more than a decade, Glenn Burke went from starting in the World Series to living on the streets of San Francisco, addicted  to drugs and suffering from the disease that would eventually kill him. But Burke's role as the first openly gay player in MLB — and the inventor of the high five — has ensured his legacy will live on. Author Andrew Maraniss joins us to discuss the remarkable life and tragic death of a baseball pioneer.

Sean Maddison does not understand the term “offseason.” He’s the lead producer for the San Jose Sharks television broadcasts on NBC Sports Bay Area. Then after the grind of a grueling season, Maddison makes documentaries. Not simple easy documentaries, but emotional stories about the intersection of sports and society. In episode 10 of the “Life Around the Seams” podcast, we find out why Sean Maddison won’t just rest and enjoy the offseason. He’s produced over 10 documentaries, but we’ll focus on three: OUT, the Glenn Burke story; TOMBOY, elevating the conversation about gender in sports; and LETTERS TO 87, a tribute to 49ers legend Dwight Clark. We’ll also discuss why he moved to New York when his producing career was just getting established in the SF Bay Area, producing VH1’s “50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs” and how that experience shapes his work to this today.

Before Jason Collins, before Michael Sam, there was Glenn Burke. By becoming the first -- and only -- openly gay player in Major League Baseball, Glenn would become a pioneer in his own way, nearly 30 years after another black Dodger rookie, Jackie Robinson, broke the league's color barrier. Author Erik Sherman talks about his book, "Out at Home," The True Story of Glenn Burke, Baseball's First Openly Gay Player, written with Glenn Burke.  Of course, we also talk about what's going on in the world of sports and whatever else we want to talk about!  Join Lisa Iannucci and Ej "The Rainmaker" Garr each Thursday at 1 p.m. for the best in sports entertainment!   

Glenn Burke's journey through baseball began and ended in Oakland, California. His sports career had many stops along the way, starting as a multi-sport star at Berkeley High School, followed by a brief stint at the University of Nevada, Reno as a prized basketball recruit, and then moving into professional baseball with the Los Angeles Dodgers, being hailed by one coach as "the next Willie Mays." Early in his career, Burke felt he had to hide his true self from his teammates. Later, when he began to reveal glimpses into his sexuality the baseball establishment began to close him out. Out. The Glenn Burke Story, a one-hour documentary produced by Comcast SportsNet Bay Area, tells the dramatic tale of Burke's legacy as the first openly homosexual Major League Baseball player. From his Major League debut in 1976 and starting Game One of the 1977 World Series for the Dodgers to subsequently being traded to the Oakland Athletics the next season, and then walking away in 1980 from the game that he deeply loved, Comcast SportsNet follows one of baseball's most dramatic arcs. Many of Burke's teammates were aware of his homosexuality during his playing career, as were members of management. And many of those teammates believe that his sexuality " and the reaction it provoked " led to the premature derailment of his baseball career. Out. The Glenn Burke Story tells the tumultuous story of the wedge that was driven between Burke and the Los Angeles management, the ensuing similar situation in Oakland that led to Burke's abrupt retirement, and the hero's welcome that Burke received in San Francisco's Castro District after he left professional baseball. Comcast SportsNet's narrative follows Burke through his public announcement of his homosexuality in a 1982 Inside Sports magazine article ("The Double Life of a Gay Dodger") and on The Today Show with Bryant Gumbel, to his subsequent downward spiral to drugs, prison, and eventually living on the same San Francisco streets where he was once hailed as an icon. Burke's story took on another level of tragedy when he was diagnosed with AIDS in 1994. Yet at the end of his life, the game that he claimed abandoned him so many years before reached out to one of its own. The A's found Burke and provided him with constant support in his final months, as did some of his former teammates. Glenn Burke passed away on May 30, 1995 at the age of 42 of AIDS-related complications. Out. The Glenn Burke Story documents the extent of Burke's courage, strife and friendship throughout his life, and the compassion and callousness of the sport of baseball. The program weaves together insights from Burke's teammates and friends, including Dusty Baker, Davey Lopes, Reggie Smith, Rick Monday, Manny Mota, Rickey Henderson, Claudell Washington, Mike Norris, Shooty Babitt, Tito Fuentes, sports agent Abdul-Jalil and former Major Leaguer and gay rights activist Billy Bean.
