Another baseball team releases ‘It Gets Better’ video

The Minnesota Twins’ It Gets Better video is due out in the next week or so, and slowly — very slowly — other baseball teams are contributing to the project that started after several news stories about young people killing themselves.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are the latest team to add a video:

Pirates Manager Clint Hurdle and pitchers Joel Hanrahan and Jeff Karstens participated in the video which, notably, actually mentions LGBT young people. Many of the videos stop short of that.
