Though three jobs and an entire course load prevented Stan Lore from playing baseball for the University of Maryland in the early 1930s, nothing has stopped him from avidly supporting the Terrapins since; not even age.

Lore, now 100, attended Saturday’s football game against Wake Forest and was honored as the Terrapin Club Member of the Game for his longtime support of Maryland athletics. This is an apt tribute to a diehard fan that has supported the Terrapins for well over half a century.

“Whether I was good, bad or indifferent baseball-wise, I don’t know,” Lore told Dan Steinberg in an article in The Washington Post. “But I’ve been interested in Maryland sports ever since I started there.”

Lore’s support of Maryland athletics extends beyond football, for which he has owned season tickets for over 30 years. He also reads about or watches every game for every Maryland sport that he can from his home in Western Pennsylvania.

“I don’t root for Penn State or Pitt or anybody else,” Lore added in the Post article. “I’m a diehard Maryland Terp.”
