Script: You've always been in good company. 

The men's soft-style tank top has a slight taper under the arms. To avoid any pinching, this area has extra space built in. The garment is made from cotton - with polyester in heather colors. There are no side seams - further increasing the fitting comfort. All bindings are the same fabric as the main body.

Glenn Lawrence Burke (November 16, 1952 – May 30, 1995) was a Major League Baseball (MLB) player for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Oakland Athletics from 1976 to 1979. Burke was the first MLB player to come out as gay to teammates and team owners during his professional career and the first to publicly acknowledge it, stating, "They can't ever say now that a gay man can't play in the majors because I'm a gay man and I made it." He died from AIDS-related causes in 1995.
