Forgotten Heroes
Forgotten Heroes: Bob “The Rope” Boyd by Center for Negro League Baseball Research Dr. Layton Revel Copyright 2020 Bob Boyd – Major Leaguer Chicago White Sox (1953) Chicago White Sox (1954) Baltimore Orioles (1957) Baltimore Orioles (1959) Robert Richard “Bob” Boyd was born on October 1, 1919 in Potts Camp, Marshall County, Mississippi to Willie and Bertha Boyd. Bob grew up in and attended high school in New Albany, Mississippi. Bob’s father Willie and Willie’s brother were reportedly very good baseball players themselves and Bob remembers watching his father and uncle play ball when he was younger. While he was still in high school, Bob’s mother passed away and he moved to Memphis, Tennessee to live with his father. Bob Boyd stood five feet ten inches tall and weighed approximately 170 pounds during his playing career. He batted from the left hand side of the plate and threw left handed. He was a pure contact hitter who was difficult to strike out. Bob’s hard line-drive hitting that to some resembled the trajectory of a rifle bullet earned him the nickname “The Rope” or “El Ropo” when he played in Latin America. This moniker was given to him by Luman Harris when Luman was the pitching coach for the Chicago White Sox. Even though he didn’t hit for a lot of power, Bob consistently hit for average. Throughout his career Bob Boyd always delivered for a batting average that was well above the .300 mark. During his Negro Bob Boyd League career which lasted from 1946 to 1950, he compiled an Chicago White Sox exemplary .363 career batting average in “league” games.
