Saintsfan Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Over here, ESPN have been showing some classic Monday Night Football games. I was watching them play the 1978 Oilers Dolphins game, and there is Bob Griese playing NFL football wearing glasses. I guess a few baseball players and holders and the odd tennis player has wore specs. But can anyone think of any other unlikely bespectacled sportsmen? 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loogodude90 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 You're talking about actual glasses, right? Like not sports goggles?Certainly can't remember many in the NBA other than Kurt Rambis, but I think those were more sports-goggly.A bunch of guys used to in the MLB. For some reason, Tom Henke comes to mind.The most recent player I remember wearing actual glasses was in the '90s was Orestes Destrade.

Discogod Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 George Mikan's probably the most famous four-eyes in the NBA. The ABA's Gerald Govan & Mel Bennett wore 'em too: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Whoa. Doesn't work in football. Really works for baseball, though. I guess it's because having 20/20 vision seems like a really good idea when you're dealing with that kind of precise timing and location. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanMcD29 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Jimmy B!As someone who wears glasses, I went without them for soccer but kept them on in lacrosse. A lot of lacrosse goalies (at least at the high school level) preferred wearing glasses over contacts when I was playing (I was an attackman FWIW).

Shumway Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Not glasses, technically, but the first person I thought of was Chris Sabo and his Rec-Specs. (Great minds, DG.... )On topic, however, I remember that quite a few of the Angels' World Series-winning bullpen wore the yellow shades.Brendan DonnellyK-RodBen WeberI really thought Scot Shields did, too, but I can't seem to find a shot of it.
