The Glenn Myatt Album When I was a kid of about 10-12 growing up and playing Little league Baseball in Houston Texas, My stepfather was a clerk for the Lykes Bros. steamship lines on the Houston Ship Channel. For some reason some retired Ballplayers worked on the docks as steveadors.
A few times we went over to a Ballplayers House that was kind of an older man. This old man had alot of neat memoralbilia hanging around his house and I remember seeing Panarama Pictures hanging on the wall.
The Old man was Glenn Myatt, Glenn came to the Majors in 1920 with Connie Mack's A's and by 1922 he was a steady catcher for the Indians, where he played the bulk of his 16yr carreer.
Here I was a 10-12 yr old boy around a man that was spiked by Ty Cobb, Batted against Walter Johnson and played for Tris Speaker. I wish I could go back and ask a million questions.
His best year was 1924 where he batted .342 and Matty picked him as American League catcher on his 1924 All-Star picks for the year.
While Glenn just missed the Deadball era, he did play with and against many of the deadball stars. Just my little long ago brush with the Era we all love so much.
Glenn died in 1969
