Harry Boyles

Harry Boyles was a professional baseball player born in 1911, whose brief career spanned from 1938 to 1939. Primarily serving as a position player, Boyles made a notable yet short impact on the game during a time when Major League Baseball was navigating the complexities of the late 1930s, just prior to the onset of World War II. His playing career was characterized by a small sample size, as he appeared in only 11 games at the big league level. Throughout his time in Major League Baseball, Boyles recorded a total of 1 hit, which contributed to a batting average of 0.111. He did not hit any home runs or drive in runs, and he did not attempt any stolen bases during his tenure. While his numbers may not reflect a long-lasting legacy, Boyles’ participation in the Major Leagues places him among the ranks of players who contributed to the rich tapestry of baseball history during an era marked by the transition from the deadball era to a more offensive-minded game.
