[edit] Biographical Information
Boland had only one shot with the 1875 Brooklyn Atlantics. He appeared in one game, made an error at third base, and didn't get a hit. He was one of several players who each got one chance at third base, probably because the regular third baseman, Al Nichols, hit .153 that year. Boland never came back to the majors, while Nichols, in spite of hitting well under .200, came back to hit .179 the following year and also appeared in a few games in 1877 (after which he was involved in a scandal about thrown games). As for the Atlantics, they were 2-42 in 1875 and were not part of the following year's new National League.
