Baseball career


Born in Cincinnati,[2] Boyle began his professional baseball career in 1886, playing in one game for the Cincinnati Red Stockings of the American Association. On November 12, 1886, he was traded, along with $350, to the St. Louis Browns in exchange for Hugh Nicol.[3]

In 1887, Boyle caught only a couple of games until July 3. Boyle caught 87 straight games.[4]

Boyle accompanied Charles Comiskey to the Chicago Pirates of the Players' League team in 1890 and returned with him to St. Louis the following year.[4] In 1892, Boyle signed with the New York Giants for $5,500.

After one season with New York, Boyle was traded, with Jack Sharrott and cash, on March 11, 1893, to the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for Roger Connor.[3] Boyle spent the next five years as a catcher for the Phillies. On July 9, 1898, he was sold by Philadelphia to the Giants for $1,000.[3] However, he did not play a single game for them and was returned to Philadelphia on August 15, 1898.[3]

Boyle also served as an umpire in the National League (4 games) and American Association (1 game) between 1888 and 1897.[3]


Later life


Boyle opened a saloon[4] in the Ohio River city on Seventh Street.

In 1913, Boyle died at his home[4] in Cincinnati at the age of 46. He was interred at the St. Joseph New Cemetery in Cincinnati.[2]
