Is Glenn a sports fan? If so, does he have a favourite team?

He is definitely a sports fan, hardcore I would say Sebastian. Baseball, football, basketball, golf & hockey. From what I have read, he is very knowledgeable in all those sports. As far as team favorites, he has season Lakers courtside seats and I see him there at most Lakers home games. He has also played in several golf tournaments including Pebble Beach. Detroit Tigers was his favorite baseball team growing up but I don't know if that still holds true today. Football - I do not know his favorite team but I am sure someone here does.

I'd love to know who his favorite football, hockey, and baseball teams are!! I'm betting I don't really want to know, though... I have a feeling he's not as obsessed with Black and Gold as I am.

I've seen tweets about him being at LA Kings games (hockey), which makes sense since that's the team closest to where he lives.

Yep - Glenn is definitely an avid sports fan. I don't think I've ever read about who his favorite NFL team is - :hmm: could it be my Dolphins? :grin:

I remember he was good friends with Canadian hockey player Gene Carr in the late 70's. IIRC, he even contemplated buying ownership in an NHL team at one point.

He also wore a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey & I think I have seen pictures of him in a Kings jersey as well (I'll have to do some research). Such an arduous task!

I have seen photos of him in a Kings jersey . He never actually came out & made any statement about which teams he supported.

Is this the Kings jersey?

I don't know if he would like soccer but I obviously would hope so.

I can't see that much of it, but it does look like the King's logo. Thanks, FP.

As to liking soccer, it's a team sport so I'm sure he would like it.

Glenn wearing a King's jersey. These 2 pics look to be of the same concert. Was Gene Carr #12? Glenn is a friend of his & I remember reading that Glenn sometimes wore a King's jersey with Gene's # on it.

It looks like he often donned the jersey of the hockey team in the city where the Eagles were playing.

My favourite Blackhawks photo. I regard the Blackhawks as my hockey team because of this. I have a jersey but it's red.

Rangers:

Then there are photos of him with athletes or at games:

I can only dream of him in a Liverpool or Sydney Roosters (rugby league) jersey.

Fun??!! Except for the Red Sox photo every one of these hurts my eyes! Well, when I look from the neck down and waist up! The rest is still gorgeous. I feel a sudden need to send the man more appropriate sports clothing...

Wasn't there another picture in another thread where he did a meet and greet with someone here? PinkCoatLady, or a name like that? He wore a throwback Chargers shirt (San Diego Chargers, a football team).

I know what you are referring to but I don't know where that photo is.

There is this as well.

Then there are all the golf photos. I like this because it's here in Sydney.

Great pics all, thanks!

Glenn does look rather adorable in all those hockey jerseys. But I must say, as much as I love the Glenn and Johnny Damon picture, pinstripes were much more becoming on Johnny ;-) I still miss him...

Great pics! And it's not really off topic FP, Glenn:heart:'s sport is very important to him! And he looks great in so many of his sporting pics. In fact we could nearly dedicate a thread entirely to his sporting interests and achievements. I love the Sydney Golf one!

Thanks, because golf was so important to him at one time that I didn't think posting one golf photo could hurt; given that we don't have much information about teams he supports.

I came across this today, from a 1992 interview:


Your bio says you're a sports fan. You were born in Michigan, then lived in L.A. for 20 years, but now you're in Aspen. So which is it, the Dodgers or the Tigers?
Oh, Tigers, first and foremost, but for basketball I love the Lakers.

Though the interview is over 20 years ago, it's nice to know he was still a Tigers fan at that time. Hopefully he still is. I have lots of family that live in Lakeland FL which is the winter home of the Tigers. When I go for a visit during spring training I try & catch a few Tigers game since I LOVE baseball.
And I am always on the look out for Glenn just in case! :D

Think his college football love is Michigan. I swear I recall an article from the After shirts era where he talked about the Big 10, and a guy sitting near me at Summerfest mentioned once he saw him once at Michigan-Badger game (can't recall if it was football or basketball game) many years back...

I like the thought of Glenn in a Michigan shirt.

Sorry for the hijack, I was just going back through these old threads and wonders if any of the other Eagles are into sports? I know Felder has mentioned soccer (as a Brit it pains me to type that ;)), basketball and golf and Joe has mentioned basketball, but that's it.
