Our office, our sport and our world lost a great, kind and empathetic person yesterday. Billy Bean was the kind of leader every industry needs. How fortunate are we that he was one of ours! Billy was generous with his time, helping his colleagues navigate both personal and professional challenges. No topic was too small or too large for Billy to offer his help. He cared about all those around him, and he made everyone feel heard, acknowledged and appreciated. He was so much more than an advocate of the LGBTQ+ community. He worked tirelessly to make EVERYONE feel like they belonged in our sport - whether you were a fan, a player, a coach, or if you worked in some capacity in the game. Regardless of anyone's beliefs or opinions, he always wanted to find the common ground, the foundation, that we all love our game. More than anything, he wanted to make sure that our youngest generation never felt less than or were made to feel like they didn't belong in their communities, their schools, or in our game. Simply put: he helped us be better. The impact and legacy he leaves in baseball and the larger sporting community will live on. As Commissioner Manfred stated, our hearts are broken. He meant so much to so many. We will miss him every day. Commissioner of Baseball Robert D. Manfred, Jr. said: “Our hearts are broken today as we mourn our dear friend and colleague, Billy Bean, one of the kindest and most respected individuals I have ever known. Billy was a friend to countless people across our game, and he made a difference through his constant dedication to others. He made Baseball a better institution, both on and off the field, by the power of his example, his empathy, his communication skills, his deep relationships inside and outside our sport, and his commitment to doing the right thing. We are forever grateful for the enduring impact that Billy made on the game he loved, and we will never forget him. On behalf of Major League Baseball, I extend my deepest condolences to Billy’s husband, Greg Baker, and their entire family.”

We are now one week removed from the amazing experience in North Texas for our 94th Midsummer Classic at Globe Life Field, home of the Texas Rangers Baseball Club. The entertainment factor at the ballpark alone made this a memorable "can't miss" event. Further, the efforts throughout the surrounding community will continue to have an impact for years to come. Under our #MLBTogether platform, MLB and the Rangers sought to leave a lasting All-Star Legacy for fans of all ages! We cannot thank our host Club and host communities enough for their world-class hospitality and generosity.

June was a busy month for our MLB Employees and our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). Early in the month, we were thrilled to welcome our Summer Interns, who are collaborating with the MLB HYPE ERG for the Summer Intern Mentorship Program. Our interns also made a special visit to the Jackie Robinson Foundation Museum. Our MLB Black ERG celebrated Juneteenth and the MLB coming to Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama for the first time. Our MLB Pride ERG brought us together at Brooklyn Pride Parade, Citi Field and more. Thanks to all involved for planning these events! We appreciate you fostering community and inclusivity within our organization. #MLB #ERGMembers #SummerInternship
