Apparently, the Versus channel is going to run a special about a meaningless baseball player just because he was a homosexual.

Interesting quote by David Lopez who's giving the impression that if Burke wasn't traded from the Dodgers in the middle of '78 they would've won the World Series that year

Burke was a lifteime .237 hitter.

When LA went to the playoffs/World Series in '77, Burke had one hit in 12 at bats. Yep, he was the glue.

Pathetic garbage that won't bring the ratings. Sorry, Versus.

 

[white is right]

Legend has it he invented the high 5. Also when he was dieing of aids in a hospice he was interviewed and stated that Billy Martin knew he was gay and called him a slur in front of his teammates to belittle him,this led to depression which led to narcotics abuse.
