Fran Boniar

Outfielder Francis "Fran" Boniar was a non-roster invitee with the Dodgers in 1958. He is pictured here twice in a Reno Silver Sox uniform. The close-up shot on the left is from the Nevada State Journal (Reno) of July 13, 1957. The photo on the right shows him receiving the California League MVP trophy after setting the Cal League batting record of .436 in 1957. It's from the Nevada State Journal of September 10, 1957. His overall batting average for 1957 (2 teams) was .421. Amazingly, he received the Hillerich and Bradsby Silver Bat two times for being the best offensive player in organized baseball, yet never made the majors.
