T.J. House, former MLB pitcher, comes out as gay: "Love has finally set me free"

Former MLB pitcher T.J. House has come out as gay and announced his engagement in a heartfelt post on social media. 

House, who played for the Toronto Blue Jays and Cleveland Guardians from 2014 to 2017, wrote in a Facebook post about struggling to be "comfortable" in his own skin and eventually, coming to terms with his sexuality. 

"It has taken me years to wake up every morning and tell myself that you are loved for you, the one that's deep down inside that you've never truly let out," House wrote.
