COLUMBUS N.L. (1838-1840), BROOKLYN N.L. (1841-1846), WINNEMUCCA A.L. (1847-1848) CHICAGO N.L. (1849-1850)

Two-time MVP, 8-time All-Star, Ended career with .341 batting average, highest VORP & WAR of any current retiree in SLOP history. Won '48 Sunset Series with Winnemucca.

For years, everyone wanted Kelvin Boyd on their team. He's another one of those guys that suffered from being in the wrong place at the wrong time for entirely too long. Columbus and Brooklyn are the same franchise fwiw. But unlike Rio Grande, they didn't move so much that it made it silly to bother trying to document that on a plaque. Unlike the guy beneath him here, at least he managed to end his career on a good team, won a title before it was all said and done. Still, there's no question you can't have a Hall of Fame without Boyd in it. Most certainly one of the first stars of our fledgling league.
