Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Davis Schneider became a fan favorite last season, due to his storybook ascension and gregarious personality. But now, just two weeks into the 2024 season, he owns an even more impressive title: fan favorite of the gays!
Like many of our sports crushes, the fanfare over Schneider started with a picture. Despite only being 25 years old, the New Jersey native boasts a sweet stash, which is one of the necessary prerequisites. It’s long been established that mustaches belong to the gays… and cute ballplayers, too!
“No one has ever been simultaneously so daddy and so boy. davis schneider, if i posted my honest thoughts about you i would probably get added to a watchlist so I’ll just say if you’re ever so inclined I think I could show you a good time,” shared one admirer on social media.
How about we take this to the next level?

The praise only continued from there.

Davis Schneider if you’re reading this I am free on Thursday night if you are. If you would like to hang out I am free on Thursday night when I am free to hang out. I am free to hang out on Thursday night so if you want to hang out on Thursday night I am free. https://t.co/qGOzXKKZla

The oft-mentioned phrase to describe Schneider, “so daddy and so boy,” is perfect. He is quite young, and would seemingly fit squarely into the twink archetype.
Except, he’s sporting a bushy stash! And if there’s one thing gays adore more than a mustache, it’s a vers queen king.
For the sake of inclusion, we should point out that Jays fans of all persuasions have plenty of reasons to love Schneider. His road to the big leagues wasn’t easy, and required a lot of perseverance.
When Schneider graduated high school, he turned down college for a chance to play pro baseball. The Blue Jays selected him with the 849th pick in the 2017 MLB Draft, which means his odds to reach the majors were way less than 1%.
He started at the rookie level of the minor leagues, working his way up over the subsequent six years. He broke out in 2023, smashing 21 home runs for Toronto’s Triple-A affiliate.
Finally, Schneider was called up to the Blue Jays last August, and immediately made an impact. He hit a home run in his first at-bat… at historic Fenway Park!
His moonshot sailed over the iconic Green Monster in left field.
Despite featuring one of the best young rosters in the league, the Blue Jays have been swept out of the playoffs in each of the last two years. They’re desperately in need of clutch performers, and Schneider may be their guy.
He’s already come through with the game-changing swing in two of their five victories. His latest triumph came Monday, when he delivered a key two-run single off of Seattle Mariners ace Luis Castillo.
Schneider was rewarded with a spot in the starting lineup Tuesday, and the Jays won again. Fans were quick to notice the common denominator.
Who woke up feeling good knowing our Toronto Blue Jays won back-to-back games for the first time this season? Also it was the first time Davis Schneider started back-to-back games. Hmmmmm correlation causation???

With hetero Jays fans also hopping onto the Schneider bandwagon, the gays must act if we want to claim him. We’re in need of baseball daddies, too, given the firing of our previous favorite baseball figure: San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kepler, who’s also a great ally.
Kapler is on the hot seat in San Francisco following a disappointing season.
Given that Schneider made his MLB debut last August, he hasn’t been asked yet about LGBTQ+ inclusion, since Pride nights typically occur in June. The Blue Jays’ Pride festivities last season were littered with controversy, thanks to former pitcher Anthony Bass sharing an anti-LGBTQ+ social media post.
But give credit to Jays fans. When Bass took the mound following his post, he was booed out of the stadium. The team released him shortly thereafter.
Bass says the Blue Jays cut him for non-baseball reasons, and is threatening legal action.

In answer to the question of baseball crushes, I can’t help but call out the beginning of my love for the Yankees, with my first view of a young Bucky Dent! Of course there are others that continue to captivate since then; Derek Jeter, to name one. And nowadays Gleyber Torres can do no wrong with those luscious lips of his!
He’s ok but there are others (named in some of the posts here) that I find much more appealing. We all have our different tastes.
Does any one else find the words “the gays” to be cringe worthy? I wish the writers could come up with a better way of saying what they want to say with that 2 word phrase. How about something instead, like “Gay men find him to be …….”
