Fresh off his big MLS Cup win, Robbie Rogers is hitting a mini pre-holiday book tour this week. The book couldn’t have been timed better with the Galaxy’s fifth MLS Cup and Rogers becoming the first publicly out gay male athlete to win a pro team sports title in the U.S.

That last bit wasn't lost on Rogers yesterday in the locker room after the game.

"I remember the last time this it was here and it was totally different circumstances and I couldn't enjoy it," Rogers said, covered in beer and champagne. "I remember being just all right with it. The emotion I had after the game today I can't explain. It's been such a long journey and for it to end this way and to share it with these guys on the field has been amazing."

You can meet Rogers and pick up his book up and down the West Coast over the next week:
