Billy Bean was a marginal outfielder who had only 487 at bats with a .226 batting average in a career that lasted from 1987 through 1995: Detroit Tigers 1987-89, Los Angeles Dodgers 1989, San Diego Padres 1993-95. After acknowledging that he is gay, Bean went on to write a book, "Going the Other Way: Lessons from a life in and out of Major League Baseball". Bean is the second former major league player to reveal his homosexuality; former Los Angeles Dodger and Oakland Athletic Glenn Burke, who died of AIDS in 1995, is the only other ex-player to have acknowledged his homosexuality.
In the summer of 2007, it was announced that he had been
hired as a consultant by Scout Productions, the team of David Collins and
Michael Williams, who produced Bravo's Queer
Eye for the Straight Guy, for their next project with Showtime entitled
"The Beard". The project is a romantic comedy about a gay pro
baseball player who enters into a relationship with a woman in order to survive
in the sports world.
Bean currently lives in Miami Beach, Florida, and works as a real estate developer in residential properties. He is also a current panelist on GSN's I've Got A Secret revival, and a board member of the Gay and Lesbian Athletics Foundation.
