Ralph Pond

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ralph Benjamin Pond (May 4, 1888 - September 8, 1947) was an outfielder in Major League Baseball who played briefly for the Boston Red Sox during the 1910 season. Pond threw right-handed (batting side unknown). A native of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, he attended University of Maine.

Pond was a major leaguer whose career, statistically speaking, was only slightly different than that of Moonlight Graham. On June 8, 1910, he started at center field for Boston in a 5–4 defeat to the Chicago White Sox at South Side Park. He hit a single in four at-bats and stole one base, while commiting an error in his only fielding chance. After that, he never appeared in a major league game again.

Pond died at the age of 59 in Cleveland, Ohio.
