In September of 2021 he became the only active professional baseball player to come out as gay, and his story was featured in USA Today as well as 100+ media outlets around the world including CBS, Yahoo, Bleacher Report and Teen Vogue. Ruby has had a nonstop year of music shows, charity events, and baseball games for his nonprofit Proud To Be In Baseball. He was also honored to be a guest on the Today Show to share the journey leading up to the creation and organization of his charity. This year, Ruby was chosen as one of a select group of individuals from around the world as one of the standout stars who are changing the game in athletics to receive the prestigious 2022 Out 100 Award. Read more on why he was chosen at out100-honorees-changing-game-sports.

An excerpt from Out Magazine states, “The Out100 is our magazine’s greatest and most well-known tradition: a prestigious compilation of the year’s most impactful and influential LGBTQ+ people.”

Ruby admits the road in the country music game has been bumpy at times. “[Over] the past three years, I’ve tried to make a name for myself as a songwriter in country music. Nashville is already full of songwriters and the genre is a notoriously tough arena for LGBTQ+ people to crack,” says Ruby.  “What I first thought was my weakness might just be my superpower,” he adds. “Being queer gives me a different perspective than the majority of country writers, and that has helped me tremendously.”
