Ed Glynn #48
Here are a few things to know about lefty Ed Glynn.
- The Tigers signed him as an amateur free agent on Sept. 25, 1971.
- Glynn debuted on Sept. 19, 1975 against the Red Sox. Tigers starter Ray Bare didn’t record an out, so Glynn and Lerrin LaGrow picked up the slack. He entered in the fourth, and pitched two and two thirds, allowing three hits and two runs.
- In parts of four seasons with Detroit, he appeared in 26 games — 10 being the high-water mark, in 1978 — and had a final record of 3-6 and a 4.93 ERA.
- Along the way, he made eight starts and on Sept. 12, 1976, he pitched a complete game against the Yankees but took the loss in the 3-1 New York win.
- On March 13, 1979, the Tigers traded him to his hometown Mets for Mardie Cornejo — Nate Cornejo‘s dad!
