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." HonorsIn February 1994, Stanley Glenn and several other players from the Negro Leagues were honored by Vice-President Al Gore at the White House. {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060506224725/http://www.21stcenturyradio.com/WhiteHouseVisit1994gif.html |date=May 6, 2006 |title=See pictures of the event here }} In 2004, Glenn was inducted into the Eastern Shore Baseball Hall of Fame in Maryland.
