GLENN BURKE: A BALLPLAYER'S STORY
Ballplayer never had fair turn at bat
Burke's talent crushed by drugs, homophobia
Editor's note: This is part two of a three-part story about Glenn Burke, a former major league baseball player dying of AIDS. In part one, Burke talked about how he dealt with admitting his sexual orientation.
A few players eventually found out Glenn Burke's secret. Cleo Smith, a minor leaguer with the Dodgers who grew up near Burke, knew about his gay lifestyle and mentioned it to several others. "I heard it from Cleo," Baker said, "and I heard it from one of the Latin players. They wouldn't shower when Glenn was in the shower."
By Steve Wilstein
The Associated Press
Burke's other misfortunes were in playing for two "prejudiced and homophobic" managers, as he referred to Tom Lasorda on the Dodgers and Martin on the A's. Burke knew Lasorda's gay son, Tommy Jr., who died in 1991 of pneumonia that friends said was associated with
"Being black and gay made me tougher," Burke said. "I had to be tough to make it. I knew that when the other ballplayers found out I was gay, they would go, 'Glenn Burke gay? I can't believe it.'"
AIDS.
Burke claimed that the Dodgers' former general manager, Al Campanis, offered to have the team pay for a honey月moil if Burke got married, the implication being that it would be advisable for appearance purposes. Campanis said the team just liked to see its young players settled down. Whatever, Burke turned down the offer and was traded in 1978 to Oakland for Billy North.
Burke took the trade hard, but he thought it also might be a chance to find happiness inside and outside baseball since he would be closer to his home in Berkeley.
Burke quit the A's in frustration in the middle of the 1979 season, then changed his mind about retirement and reported to spring training in 1980. When he hurt his knee, the A's assigned him to Ogden, Utah. Feeling as if he'd been banished by Martin, he retired for good later that season.
Burke's major league statistics
didn't amount to much, a 237 batting average and 35 stolen bases over four years. His speed got wasted and so did the rest of his athletic ability. Baseball was over for Burke, and he settled into life in the Castro district with a new lover named Art.

"I followed Glenn big time," Baker said. "Glenn was one of the best dudes, gay or not, that I played ball with."
Burke competed in the Gay Olympics, winning the 100- and 220-meter sprints, and from a distance some of his old teammates kept up with him.
Burke might have accomplished more if cocaine hadn't wiped him out physically and financially. He'd show up for games, outplay everyone and take another toot of coke.
"You could see the way he was headed a long time ago," said Mike Gray, an accountant, softball teammate and friend of Burke's for nearly 15 years. "Glenn was so popular, so much fun to be around. But he also had this self-destructive part of him and a need to be taken care of by someone."

Jeremy Kilburn Manager, Amigos Manhattan, KS
Jeremy, a native of Randolph, NE. began working
for Amigos his freshman year while attending the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. When he graduated in December of 1992 he was receiving the maximum tuition reimbursement. "I really wanted to go to college, but my parents wanted me to pay my own way. I started working at Amigos and within six months was promoted to a shift supervisor which got me a raise PLUS. I was still getting the S.T.E.P. money. I worked late night shifts because it met the demands of my class schedule. When I graduated I was offered the opportunity to transfer to Manhattan as a Manager of my own store. Thanks to the S.T.E.P. program I am a new college graduate with NO STUDENT LOANS to pay back."
