Biography

George Boehler was a professional baseball pitcher who played in Major League Baseball from 1912 to 1926.

His ability to strike out batters was evident, finishing his career with a total of 93 strikeouts, although he did not record any saves. Boehler's career spanned a significant time in baseball history, witnessing the evolution of the game both on and off the field.
