James did not appear in the World Series that season but, as the 1934 Atlanta Crackers offical scorecard put it, did "cut in on the world series melon."[1] The Giants bought his services after James finished a close second to Hank Greenberg in the Texas League MVP voting in 1932. The 1933 Spalding Guide described him as "the main cog in the Dallas team."[2] James also worked as a rancher in Encinal, Texas. He and his wife Mary had a son, Robert Byrne James II, who worked as a veterinarian.[3]
