Lyman Bostock, Sr.
Lyman Wesley Bostock, Sr. (11 March 1918 – Error: Need valid death date (first date): year, month, day) was an American baseball player who played first base for several Negro League teams from 1938–1954. He batted and threw left-handed.[1]
Bostock played for the Brooklyn Royal Giants, Birmingham Black Barons, Chicago American Giants, Jackie Robinson All-Stars, Winnipeg Buffaloes, and Carman Cardinals. He played in the 1941 East-West All-Star Game while with Birmingham.
Like many Negro Leaguers, Bostock wanted to play in Major League Baseball, but never got the chance. However, his son, Lyman Bostock, Jr., played for the Minnesota Twins and California Angels from 1975 until his death during the 1978 season.
