Cloyd Victor Boyer Jr. (September 1, 1927 – September 20, 2021) was an American right-handed pitcher and pitching coach in Major League Baseball who played between 1949 and 1955 for the St. Louis Cardinals (1949–52) and Kansas City Athletics (1955). Boyer was born in Alba, Missouri, the eldest son in a family that included Gold Glove Award-winning third basemen Ken and Clete Boyer.[1]
Ken, 1964 National League Most Valuable Player, an 11-time Major League Baseball All-Star and five-time Gold Glove recipient, had a 15-year big-league career with the Cardinals, New York Mets, Chicago White Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers; Clete won only one Gold Glove because of the presence of Brooks Robinson,[2] but played all or parts of 16 MLB seasons for the Athletics, New York Yankees and Atlanta Braves.[3]
