Clymer's most notable moment came on October 2, 1908, when he hit for the cycle.[2] When he left Major League baseball, he played for the minor league Minneapolis Millers of the American Association from 1911 to 1914.[3]

In 385 games over six seasons, Clymer posted a .267 batting average (355-for-1330) with 182 runs, 2 home runs, 98 RBI, 83 stolen bases and 99 bases on balls.[1]

After his baseball career, which was hampered by constant leg injuries, Clymer became a car dealer.[4][5] He died at age 50 from an automobile accident in St. Paul, Minnesota.[6] He is interred at Willow River Cemetery in Hudson, Wisconsin.[1]
