Baseball and homosexuality

Some of you may have heard that Rockies pitcher Todd Jones recently said in a Denver Post article, "I wouldn't want a gay guy being around me." and various other homophobic remarks. But the cool thing about this is Mark Grace's comments:

I think the perception in the clubhouse would be one of, for lack of a better word—fear... Fear that they'd be stared at or (that a gay player might fall) in love with them. But I think if you're intelligent at all, you'd understand that homosexuals are just like us. They don't think everybody's attractive. Just because this guy's homosexual doesn't mean he's attracted to me.

And:

I've played for 16 years, and I'm sure I've had homosexual teammates that I didn't know about... If one out of six or seven men are homosexual—do the math.

Of course, what Grace says is obvious, but hey, no one else in the game is saying it. And it just further proves how much Mark Grace kicks ass.
