"Boyle, Pitcher, Indianapolis," is a monochrome portrait of professional baseball player, “Boyle,” a pitcher for the Indianapolis team, from the Old Judge series of cigarette cards. Produced between 1887 and 1890, by Goodwin & Company, the image captures Boyle in mid-pitch, his uniform and the "Indianapolis" lettering clearly visible. The card’s design includes a simple border, a dark background, and the player’s name and position written below the image, creating a direct and classic portrait for collectors. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York holds the card.
