The High Five and the Dodgers

Glenn Burke wrote an autobiography and he said that the Dodgers offered him $75,000 to marry a woman. The team responded by claiming that yes They offered some money to Burke if he got married But that it was in the context of like a friendly we could fund your honeymoon thing like her buddy. It's unclear whether Burke and Tommy LaSorda Jr. were romantic, but They were such close friends and so outside of what was considered acceptable by the team. That apparently according to Burke one night they considered pranking Tommy Sr By coming to his house dressed in drag As like a firm statement of their sexuality. So they bailed and didn't do that.
