"The Boyer family has a tradition of raising fine ball players. Clete's brother Ken is the outstanding Cardinal third baseman, and another brother, Cloyd, played for the Athletics and Cards in 1958.
In 1958, Clete showed his stuff at Richmond where he hit a solid .284 with 22 homers and 71 runs batted in. As a fielder, he is among the tops in the game- he led the International League in putouts and assists in '58."

"The youngest of the three baseball-playing brothers, Cletis is doing his part to keep the Boyer family name in baseball headlines. His brother Ken is the Cardinal 3rd baseman, and Cloyd, one-time Athletics hurler, won 10 and lost 14 for Indianapolis last season.
Cletis plays the infield and is a long ball hitter, although his .175 batting average last year does not show it. He split the season between New York and Richmond in the International League, where he hit .224 in 64 games. Boyer clubbed 22 home runs in 1958 for Richmond and drove in 71 runs.
He usually plays third base and is a former bonus player with Kansas City."
