David Glazier, an original member of the Colorado Rockies’ front office who later became an executive with the Detroit Tigers and Detroit Lions, died Monday following a battle with cancer.
Glazier, 47, helped lead the Rockies’ business operations from the time Denver was awarded a major- league franchise on July 5, 1991, and stayed through the 1996 season. He is survived by his wife, Julie, and two daughters, Jennifer and Mallory.

14ers’ Davis nets honor.
The NBA D-League on Monday tabbed Colorado 14ers forward Josh Davis its player of the week. In leading the 14ers to a 3-0 record last week, Davis averaged 20.0 points and 8.0 rebounds.
• The New Jersey Nets assigned forward Sean Williams, a 2007 first-round NBA draft pick, to the 14ers. The Nuggets and Nets share the minor-league 14ers.
Kroenke ups Arsenal stakes.
Rapids owner Stan Kroenke increased his stake in Premier League soccer team Arsenal. He purchased 13 shares for 7,750 pounds ($11,413) each. His stake remains at 12.4 percent.
Kroenke, who also owns the Nuggets and Avalanche, made the move after Arsenal’s third-largest shareholder, Nina Bracewell-Smith, quit the team’s board this month. Bracewell-Smith’s departure left Kroenke open to buy more shares, since the board was no longer bound to sell only to close family.
