About Stanley Glenn
- Stanley "Doc" Glenn (September 16, 1926 – April 16, 2011) was a baseball catcher with the Philadelphia Stars of the Negro Leagues from 1944 to 1950.
- He also played three years in the minors and two in the Canadian senior Intercounty Baseball League in southwestern Ontario for the St.
- Thomas Elgins in the early 1950s. After his retirement from baseball, Glenn spent 40 years in the wholesale electric supply business.
- In 2006, Glenn released his first published book entitled, Don't Let Anyone Take Your Joy Away: An inside look at Negro League baseball and its legacy. Glenn was born in Wachapreague, Virginia, and was signed by hall-of-famer Oscar Charleston right out of John Bartram High School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. "I suppose one thing I remember so vividly was catching Satchel Paige (1946 and 1950)," Glenn says. "As hard as he threw, the ball was like a feather.
- It was so easy to catch him, mainly because he was always around the plate."
