Baseball Hall of Fame
Preserving history, honoring excellence, connecting generations. This is the mission at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
Sean Conroy made history on June 25 by starting in his first professional baseball game as the first openly gay pro baseball player.
And the Hall of Fame will preserve that history forever.
The 23-year-old Conroy led the Sonoma Stompers to a 7-0 win in front of the home crowd at Arnold Field in Sonoma, Calif.
A native of Clifton Park, N.Y., Conroy graduated in May from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), located in Troy, N.Y. His career statistics while playing with the Rensselaer Engineers were impressive: In 33 starts, he went 21-7 with an earned run average of 2.07, a school record. After completing his final season with the Engineers, he signed his first professional contract with the Stompers, a team in the Pacific Association of Baseball Clubs.
