Frank Boyle Leaves Baseball After 17 Years in Central Illinois
Frank Boyle, famed minor league manager who helped shape the Central Association, sits out this summer for the first time in 17 years. He now works sales in Iowa for a major Illinois firm and travels by car, yet speaks of the game with evident longing. Boyle started managing in 1901 with Davenport, later piloting Rockford, Fort Dodge, and several Central Association clubs, collecting five pennants and many top finishes while developing stars who reached the majors. He, with the late Ned Egan, built strong teams known for discipline and success, transforming players like Penner and Hollacher into big league figures. Boyle plans to return to managing when baseball returns to normal conditions.
