The Cleveland Guardians are profoundly saddened by the loss of an extraordinary ally and leader, Billy Bean, MLB’s Senior Vice President for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion and Special Assistant to the Commissioner. Billy's impressive Major League Baseball (MLB) playing career from 1987-1995 with the Detroit Tigers, Los Angeles Dodgers, and San Diego Padres was just the beginning of his influential journey in baseball. In 2014, he joined the Office of the Commissioner as MLB’s first-ever Ambassador for Inclusion after courageously coming out as the second openly gay former MLB player. In his senior advisory role to Commissioner Manfred, Billy championed player education, LGBTQ inclusion, and social justice initiatives. He tirelessly worked with MLB’s 30 Clubs to advance equality for all players, coaches, managers, umpires, employees, and stakeholders, striving to create an equitable, inclusive, and supportive workplace for everyone in the baseball community. We had the honor of hosting Billy in Cleveland during the 2019 All-Star weekend, where he led an intimate and impactful discussion with our Front Office on the critical importance of inclusion in sports. Since then, Billy has been an unwavering advocate for change in Cleveland, partnering closely with our DEI Team to provide invaluable support and guidance from MLB League Officers. Billy had a unique ability to inspire and uplift everyone around him. He transformed his personal struggles into a beacon of hope and meaning for those he encountered. His instrumental role in establishing our first-ever Pride Night at Progressive Field is just one testament to his dedication. Billy was always available for a call, offering his guidance and wisdom whenever needed. "Billy's humor, charm, and relentless advocacy will be deeply missed here in Cleveland," said Matthew Grimes, Ed.M, Head of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. "He was more than a leader; he was a friend who made everyone better." We will forever cherish Billy’s legacy and strive to uphold the values he so passionately promoted.

He has now claimed his 6th "Hosey" Heart & Hustle award! José truly embodies the values, spirit, and traditions of the game to earn this award. No better time to announce a newly added Guardians City Connect bobblehead, giveaway on Friday, Sept 27th. Visit cleguardians.com/tickets #ForTheLand

Last night's surprise guest has something BIG in store at the ballpark on August 13th … 👀 #ForTheLand

Ahead of induction into Guardians Hall of Fame, CC hosts clinic at namesake field! PitCCh in Foundation was established in 2008 when CC and his wife, Amber, were determined to figure out the best way to give back to the communities that have treated them so well. That’s why nearly two decades after Sabathia left Cleveland, he still comes back annually to be involved with the Northeast Ohio community. “It makes it super special to still have these connections to the city,” Sabathia said. “To be able to come here to Luke Easter Park, CC Sabathia Field and throw a camp ahead of going into the Guardians Hall of Fame, it just sums up the whole weekend and what my career was about.” -CC Sabathia, Guardians Hall of Famer Read the full article by Mandy Bell here: https://lnkd.in/gayM7NCR #ForTheLand #CLEinspires
