Business Activities
After leaving baseball, Glanville served as managing partner for Metropolitan Development. Glanville announced in a December, 2008 interview with Jimmy Scott that he was writing a book similar to his New York Times column.
Currently, Glanville is President of GK Alliance, LLC, a Glen Ellyn, Illinois based company providing intellectual capital for start-up and emerging companies. In his role with GK Alliance, he serves as Director, New Business Initiative for both James Romes Consulting and MechTechnologies, and President of Glanville-Koshul Homes.
On May 9, 2009, Glanville wrote an Op-Ed article in The New York Times regarding his choice to not use steroids during his baseball days. The article compares the decision to Neo's choosing between blue and red pills in the movie The Matrix. Glanville wrote that thoughts of his mother kept him from abusing PEDs. In an online New York Times article of January 21, 2010, Glanville responded to Mark McGwire's admission that he used steroids. Glanville's book The Game From Where I Stand (ISBN 0805091599) was published by Times Books in May 2010. Buzz Bissinger called it "a book of uncommon grace and elegance...filled with insight and a certain kind of poetry."

Famous quotes containing the words business and/or activities:
“A foreign minister, I will maintain it, can never be a good man of business if he is not an agreeable man of pleasure too. Half his business is done by the help of his pleasures: his views are carried on, and perhaps best, and most unsuspectedly, at balls, suppers, assemblies, and parties of pleasure; by intrigues with women, and connections insensibly formed with men, at those unguarded hours of amusement.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“I am admonished in many ways that time is pushing me inexorably along. I am approaching the threshold of age; in 1977 I shall be 142. This is no time to be flitting about the earth. I must cease from the activities proper to youth and begin to take on the dignities and gravities and inertia proper to that season of honorable senility which is on its way.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
