That's areally neat ball for me, I'm from NJ and have been reasearching Van Atta and Glynn for years. Van Atta was a few years older than Glynn and recommended him to the Yankee organization. Glynn played for a bunch of great top-notch AAA teams but with guys like DiMaggio in the Yanks outfield he never got a chance. Still, he played with the '37 Newark Bear and the '36 Oakland Oaks, 2 teams with bunch of future major leaguers on them. He later went on to be an officer in the Army Air Force during WWII and set up baseball teams all over Europe, calling on his many baseball pals to entertain the troops.
