According to the Associated Press, Collins was introduced with the first lines of his the SI article. "I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black. And I'm gay.”
I went from the wind up. Over the plate, right down the middle for strike 1. Thank you @redsox. #Pride #bostonstrong twitter.com/jasoncollins34…
