Jacques Plante, goalie for the N.H.L. Montreal Canadians hockey team before, during and after their 5 straight Stanley Cup Championships from 1956 thru 1960 was a confirmed knitter as he said it was good for his nerves. He even wore one of his ceations, a tuque, during the games until he lost it while wandering from his goal, for which he was famous, and while he was picking it up, the other team scored. Thereafter his coach did not allow him to wear it, but he still wore his knitted undershirts. He was also the first goalie to design and regularily wear a mask (fiberglass) for protection during games. See career details at: http://www.legendsofhockey.net/html/spot_oneononep197802.htm Rosie Greere was a confirmed knitter.

Rosie also did beautiful needlepoint - that's what I remember him most for. I found some great teaching videos on YouTube for male/men knitters, and I tell you, it's really inspiring - I'm humbled by their work!

On July 28, 2005, the Seattle Mariners hosted "Stitch 'N Pitch Night" at Safeco Field. More than 1,600 baseball fans, both men and women, brought their knitting needles and balls of yarn to the game.
