Cloyd Boyer

In his major-league career, encompassing all or part of five seasons, Boyer posted a 20–23 won–lost record with 198 strikeouts and a 4.73 earned run average in 3952⁄3 innings pitched, including 13 complete games, three shutouts, and two saves. Boyer also played for the Duluth Dukes, a Cardinals minor league team, in 1947. That year, Boyer compiled a record of 16 wins against 9 losses. He struck out 239 and took the strikeout lead in the Northern League. After that season, he was promoted to the Cardinals' Double-A club, the Houston Buffaloes, for whom he played in 1948.

He spent two brief terms as pitching coach of the Bombers in 1975 and 1977, and held the same post on the staff of Bobby Cox during Cox's first term (1978–1981) as manager of the Atlanta Braves, then served under Dick Howser as mound tutor of the 1982–1983 Kansas City Royals.

Boyer died in Carthage, Missouri, on September 20, 2021.^[4] At the time, he was the 18th oldest former Major League Baseball player at 94 years, 19 days old.^[5][6]
