I once told you I had saved an issue a sports magazine recounting Glenn Burke’s story. I never located my copy. No matter though as it had the same cover you have printed here. I understand someone tried to credit Dusty Baker with creating the “high five” until Baker graciously gave all credit to Burke.

Again, pardon me if I’m wrong, but I thought Kopay’s being gay was an open secret among his team mates, much like Mr. Burke.

That should read “coming out”. I saw his interview on The Tom Snyder Show and it had quite an impact on me.

Pardon me if I’m wrong, but I remember David Kopay came out in 1975.
