There is a sample of Glasscock’s coaching when Tener made his debut: “Come up; come up again,” Glasscock would shriek. “He can’t catch you; he’ll never do it, he’s too long. He’ll tangle his legs. Look out, there!. Come up again. Hit that. It’s a straight ball. There she goes. Umpire, come down here and look out for that balk. Here comes an outcurve. Mr. Umpires, will you come down here? Hold on there now. His feet are out of the box. Will you come down and look? Steady, there, Chimmy. Hit this fast ball. Hug-gah, guwup, a-ga-a-go.” No new pitcher in the league ever met so hot a fire.
