This is Chris Dobbins doing his part to support the Green Stampede, a homework club affiliated with the A’s, Wednesday night at Oaklandish. Pink underwear and youth groups might sound a little strange. But they fit the occasion: A documentary, Out: The Glenn Burke Story, about Glenn Burke, an Oakland native and Berkeley High graduate who was ousted by the A’s Billy Martin for being gay. The proceeds of Dobbins’ and City Hall hopeful Sean Sullivan (pictured here) went to the Green Stampede.
