Antigay Christian activist and fired reality show host David Benham made news last week when he claimed that he converted a man away from his "gay lifestyle" with love and tickets to a Chicago Cubs game.
I found the use of Cubs tickets to be an odd vehicle for a gay-to-straight conversion. It's true that the Cubs have sucked, like forever, but Wrigley Field is located smack-dab in the middle of Boystown. Plus, watching a baseball game is seeing a group of young, good-looking, well-developed athletes in their prime sweat and move for three hours; hard to see how that would make a gay man suddenly desire women.

David Benham and his twin brother Jason think that all it takes to convert a gay guy is a trip to a ballgame. Well, two can play at that game. Take a look at these 2015 Cubbies from their media day photos and tell me they wouldn't make a straight guy just a litle bi-curious and consider creating a headless Grindr profile.
In honor of Chicago baseball history, we'll call these "8 Men [Who Would Make a Straight Guy Come] Out." Bonus: After some readers complained, we have added a ninth Cub to the list at the bottom.
Bonus:
Anthony Rizzo was suggested by several readers and it's hard to argue!
