Byron Buxton would be, too, if he were made available, but that s unlikely.

WASECA, MINN. – Gene Glynn will be back where he was three decades earlier, coaching high school lads in basketball in Minnesota s mid-south, when practice commences for the St. Clair Cyclones 2021-22 season in November.
It has been a winding trail from Mankato Loyola s Crusaders to the Cyclones for Glynn, remembered by most Minnesota sports followers for being a baseball man, remembered by many fewer as the first winner of the state s Mr. Basketball award for Waseca in 1975.
Glynn followed that with basketball and baseball stardom for what was then Mankato State from 1975 to 1979. He was signed out of college for the Montreal Expos by Bob Gebhard, the pride of Lamberton, Minn.
