AL GLOSSOP (Yankee Farmhand of the Past)
"Al is one of those rare modern birds- a 'turn around' or 'switch' hitter. He is the 'handy' man on the Angels roster.
Alban Glossop was born in Christopher, Illinois, July 23, 1915. He attended high school in Belleville, Illinois, where he starred in baseball, football and basketball.
Al bats left and right- one of the few modern switch-hitters- and throws right. He is a great utility player and pinch hitter. He was with Los Angeles last year where he hit .250 in 93 games.
His hobbies are hunting and fishing."
