They are deceased now however they played baseball in the Negro Leagues and then in the majors. Bob Thurman played with the Cincinnati Reds and Bob Boyd played with the Chicago White Sox in the 1950s and 60s. Both of them also played in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. Both of their widows still live in Wichita. One of Bob Boyd's grandsons played baseball in high school and college and his great grandson plays summer ball and will eventually play in high school. Bob Thurman and Bob Boyd endured racism and other things just to play ball because they loved the game. I have learned to appreciate their accomplishments and the historical contributions they made and I will make sure they will not be forgotten.
