Summary

Billy Bean passed away this week at 60 years old. He was not only a one-of-a-kind trailblazer for Major League Baseball, but also one of Izzy's heroes. On today's Postgame Show, you will hear a section of an interview Izzy recently conducted with Billy. It was their first in-person conversation, and it was a powerful one. Billy touches on an array of topics around coming out of the closet including the tragedy of having to "deny everything that matters to you in hopes that [people] will like you."
