While they were away, baseball lost one of its most important and irreplaceable figures, Billy Bean, the second former MLB player to come out as gay. Mike and Bill look back at the Bean's short career, his struggle to accept his sexuality and keep it private, his decision to come out and what has (and hasn't) happened since.

Plus, happy birthday to Oddibe McDowell and Tony González!

And farewell to Danny Fife, Jimmy Hurst, Mike Brumley, and Hank Allen.
