somewhere on one of the
other two single A teams.
““I just hope to move up a
notch each year, eventually
playing major league ball.”
Because he is much younger
than many of the players,
Mitch believes the Red Sox
will move him along at a
slower pace. ‘‘They will not
rush me and get me over my
head,” he says, ‘‘and I feel
good about that.”
Mitch grins and adds that
he ‘“‘should be ready for the
majors in four or five
years.’
Mitch’s advice to young
kids who would like to play
professional baseball is to
play as often as they can
now. ‘‘The kids in the warm-
weather states have a real
advantage,”” says Mitch.
“In California they play
legion ball right through
Christmas.
“If you want to compete
with the players from
Florida, California and other
warm states, you have got to
play from March until
September.”’

area on January 31. After
graduation in June, he will
return to Germany and
attend a University.
The Glantzes are enjoying
their visit to the States, and
they note that the weather is
somewhat different here—
hotter in the summer and
colder in the winter.
Henry told us something
of his experiences in
Germany during the 2nd
World War. He has vivid
recollections of the air raids
and bombings that took
place when he was but ten
years of age. He remembers
his home being destroyed
and the doors and windows
ruined in his second home—
both from bombings. Each
time the bombers ap-
proached, the entire popula-
tion would take refuge in
cellars and specially pro-
vided bomb shelters,
emerging from them only
after the ‘‘all clear’’ signal
sounded.
Henry followed in his
brother's footsteps and
studied nuclear physics at
the University of Gottinger
and the University of
Heidelberg.
Although they have found
things to their liking in the
Donegal area, the Glantzes
are looking forward to
returning to their home in
Germany.
