The late Glenn Burke, who hit .340 for the Spokane Indians in 1972, was born on this day in 1952. A talented outfielder for the Dodgers and A's, Burke was the first openly gay player in MLB and is also credited with inventing the high five. He tragically died from AIDS-related complications in 1995.
