Author Series: Andrew Maraniss

Bestselling author Andrew Maraniss delves into the story of Glenn Burke, the first openly gay player in major league history. At one time a top outfield prospect with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Burke faced bigotry in LA and later with the Oakland A’s. Tragically, Burke contracted AIDS in the 1990s and died at the age of 42.

The son of Pulitzer Prize-winning author David Maraniss, Andrew served as the media relations for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays during their inaugural season. Singled Out is his first book on baseball.
