Glavenich was raised in Jackson, California and, as his father was from Slavonia, spoke Slavonian as his first language.[1] As a youth, he dropped out of school to pursue gold mining but was persuaded by his father to return to his education and complete high school and eventually college.[2] As a pitcher at St. Mary's College, he once threw two one-hitters in the span of four days against Stanford University.[3]
