On behalf of Odin Public Schools, it is a great honor to celebrate and retire the jersey of an incredible Odin athlete—Mr. Glenn Benjamin.
Glenn’s athletic career is nothing short of remarkable. He wasn’t just a talented player—he was a leader, a competitor, and a true Eagle through and through. Glenn spent a lot of time out on this very field. I know his memory lives on in the spirit of this place. Glenn still holds place in six IHSA records, including an astonishing 38 career wins, 16 wins in a single season, 330 career innings pitched, and an impressive 446 career strikeouts. Those numbers alone are enough to secure his place in history, but anyone who saw him play knows that his impact went beyond the stats.
In 1990, Glenn was named the MVP of the MTC, and the year before, in 1989, he was recognized as an all-conference player. But perhaps the greatest recognition comes not from awards, but from the respect and admiration of his teammates, coaches, and this community.
Glenn lived by a simple but powerful motto: “Eagle for Life.” Those weren’t just words to him—they were a reflection of the way he carried himself both on and off the baseball diamond. His dedication, perseverance, and pride in representing Odin continue to inspire future generations of athletes in our school and our town.
Saturday, September 13, 2025, we honored that legacy by retiring his uniform number—#16. From this moment forward, no other player will wear that number in Odin baseball, because it will forever belong to Glenn Benjamin. It will stand as a reminder of his achievements, his character, and the pride he brought to our community.
So, we say thank you. Thank you to Glenn for showing us what it means to be an Eagle for Life. Thank you to his family and supporters who stood by him through every practice, game, and season. And thank you to our community, who continues to rally behind our athletes and keep traditions like this alive.
Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of Odin Public School and the Odin Public School Board, please join us in proclaiming jersey number 16 being officially retired and dedicated to Glenn Benjamin.
