Ehrungen

Glen was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA and has played baseball for as long as he can remember.
He played on his first "real" team when he was 8 years old. Before then, he would play baseball after school nearly every day with friends. If his friends could not play, he would throw a baseball against the wall of his house and practice fielding ground balls. Glen said that "The constant "knocking" on the walls drove my parents crazy, but at least they knew where I was!"
Glen played baseball in both high school and at Carthage College. He started as an outfielder, but moved to the infield during his second year of high school. From then, he played mostly third base or second base. In college, he played mainly second base. While he was never a "power hitter", he was a pretty good "contact" hitter striking out only once for every 25 at bats in college. He batted .281 in college and had the highest fielding percentage in the conference during his final season.
Glen stopped playing baseball after college and did not start again until he played for Kriftel. Said Glen, "I never thought I would be playing baseball again at age 42; especially in Germany."
He goes on to say, "I have really enjoyed playing with the Redwings and will miss both playing baseball and the friends I have met. Best of luck to the Redwings in the future!"
