Tyler Glasnow took advantage of his stardom to meet his girlfriend.
According to a recent Los Angeles Dodgers broadcast, the 30-year-old was pitching for the Tampa Bay Rays in 2021 when a woman in the stands caught his attention (Glasnow now pitches for Los Angeles).
Dodgers play-by-play announcer Joe Davis said Glasnow had the Rays team photographer focus on the woman, noting that she was “cute.”

Then, Glasnow went one step further and decided to give him a souvenir: a signed football, but with his phone number.
“So he takes a ball and writes his phone number on it, throws it to her and says, 'Text me.' She comes to the next game, throws him a ball with her number on it and says, 'No, text me,'” Davis said.
“And so he did, and the rest is history.”
Glasnow claims it's the only time he's done that.
Glasnow once told the Los Angeles Times that he “didn't think anything would come of it” from the exchange of signed baseballs until he and Meghan Murphy met.

The right-hander spent five seasons with the Rays before being traded to the Dodgers last offseason.

But this season, he's pitching a 2.53 ERA, which would be the best mark of his career (in a full season).
