Minor League Baseball player Anderson Comas is the latest professional athlete to come out as gay.

Comas joined the White Sox organization about five years ago. In his post, Anderson wrote about wanting to normalize gay athletes in sports.

"I enjoy my work a lot, being a professional baseball player is the best thing that happened to me so I just wanna say something to those people that says that gay people can not be someone in this life," Comas wrote. "Well look at me I’m Gay and I’m a professional athlete."

Thousands of people commented on Comas' post, noting his courage in revealing something so personal.

Chris Getz, White Sox assistant general manager, said Comas revealed his sexuality to the organization last year.

"I was very pleased that he was comfortable sharing with us in player development," Getz said. "I also was happy at the reaction across the organization, which as you would expect was to support, help and congratulate a teammate."

Comas, who was born in the Dominican Republic, is currently a relief pitcher. The 23-year-old had a 6.35 ERA as a pitcher in 2022.

Being publicly gay in professional sports is a rarity. There are no openly gay players in Major League Baseball. Carl Nassib was the first active player in the NFL to come out in 2021. Michael Sam came out and was drafted St. Louis Rams, but he never played in a regular season game.

A broadcaster for MLB Network has apologized for using a term that referenced slavery while on-air during a playoff game Friday.

Jim Kaat, an MLB Network analyst and former major league pitcher of 25 seasons, says he was trying to compliment Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada during Friday's playoff game between the White Sox and the Houston Astros.

With Moncada up at the plate in the first inning, Kaat's broadcast partner and former manager Buck Showalter praised Moncada's ability and said in jest, "Can we have one of those?" when referring to the first time Showalter saw Moncada play.

The 82-year-old Kaat responded with, "Get a 40-acre field full of 'em."

Kaat apologized for the remark in the fifth inning, calling his choice of words "poor" and an "insensitive and hurtful remark."

"Earlier in the game, when Yoan Moncada was at the plate, in an attempt to compliment the great player that he is, I used a poor choice of words that resulted in an insensitive and hurtful remark. And I'm sorry for that," Kaat said.

Kaat did not explain his use of the phrase. Some believe the "40-acre" term may be from the 1865 proposal to give freed slaves in the U.S. "40 acres and a mule" following the Civil War.

Moncada, who is from Cuba, has played six seasons in the league and finished the season hitting .263 with 14 home runs and 61 RBIs.

CNN has reached out to MLB Network for comment.

The Chicago White Sox faced off against the New York Yankees in a match-up adjacent to the field in Dyersville, Iowa, where the iconic 1989 movie "Field of Dreams" was filmed.

Fans paid record amounts to attend the Field of Dreams game. Some bought tickets on the secondary market and paid more than $1,400.

The game ended in true cinematic fashion with a two-run walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning by Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson.

However, the ending of the Field of Dreams game wasn't the only emotional story at the game.

One woman, Terri McClavy won the ticket raffle for her chance to buy tickets for both her and her son, Matt. She said it felt like a dream come true, but not just because of the game.

Terri's late husband, John McClavy, who was a huge Yankees fan, passed away four years ago from prostate cancer. Terri said she felt called to this game because of the memories they both shared at the Field of Dreams 25 years ago.

In 1996, they visited the original movie site. McClavy said that the spirit of John McClavy was with them at the field this week during the game.

DYERSVILLE, Iowa —

Nostalgia has never been so expensive.

Baseball celebrates the myth of its rural roots tonight when the New York Yankees meet the Chicago White Sox in a game adjacent to the field in rural Dyersville, Iowa, population 4,000, where the iconic 1989 movie "Field of Dreams" was filmed.

Fans are paying record amounts to attend the game, with most who bought tickets on the secondary market spending more than $1,400 to attend.

The prices are by far the highest average price ever for a regular season game, and have only been topped by a handful of World Series games, such as Game 4 of the 2016 World Series between two championship-starved teams as the Cleveland Indians met the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field in Chicago. The average ticket price on the resale market that night was a record $3,500 on StubHub and $4,200 according to its rival SeatGeek.

StubHub says the average for Thursday's game on its site is $1,400, while SeatGeek says the average price of tickets sold on its site is $1,557.

Tickets have a face value of either $375 or $425, and were sold to fans in Iowa and White Sox season ticket holders who won lotteries for the right to buy about 8,000 seats at the temporary stadium in Dyersville, Iowa.

"There are several factors, including the tight supply of tickets available on the resale market," said Chris Layden, spokesperson for SeatGeek. "And every seat is about the same. There's no nosebleed seats. Sometimes you'll see the average price be really high but you can still pay a third of that and get in the door for a cheap seat. But that's not the case this time."

The game was originally planned to be played last year but was canceled because of the shortened, fanless baseball season.

The two teams involved are also adding to demand. The White Sox, whose home is a four-hour drive away from Dyersville, are in first place at this time of the season for the first time since 2012. And their opponent Yankees are one of the best-drawing road teams in baseball year-in and year-out.

"This has a whole life of it's own," said Adam Budelli, head of partnerships and business development at StubHub. "Adding in the fact that it's two marque teams, it's a perfect storm for this event."
