Baseball career
At the age of 17, Clymer appeared in three games for the Philadelphia Athletics of the American Association.[1] In 11 at-bats as a Major League player, he did not collect a hit, but did have one base on balls and one stolen base.[2]
Clymer went on to play 18 seasons in the minor leagues (1891–1906)[3] and was a minor league manager for approximately 29 years (1898–1932).[1] He was the second minor league manager with more than 2,000 wins.[1] Clymer died at the age of 63 in his hometown of Philadelphia, and is interred at North Cedar Hill Cemetery.[2]
