As an aside, my first year in the minors was in the NY-Penn League...which is in the part of the country that I'm originally from. Thus, during the season I (and my crewmate) got to see quite a bit of my parents and family.

Anyways, when we'd be out in public, my Mom would introduce me to her friends and others as, "and this is my son Matt and his partner Joe" (my partner's name is changed since he's still in the game and I'm not into dropping names).

After getting enough weird looks, my father finally pulled her aside and told her to introduce me as "Matt and his co-worker, Joe". I appreciated her not using "partner" to describe Joe and I off the field.

I'm happily married have two kids and am not gay ("not that there's anything wrong with that!" as Seinfeld would say)
