Bobo Leonard


James "Bobo" Leonard was an American professional baseball outfielder in the Negro leagues. He played from 1921 to 1928, spending time with several clubs, including three seasons with the Cleveland Tate Stars.
In 1924, Leonard set the major league record for most franchises played for in a single season, appearing with five major league teams across two recognized Negro leagues: the New York Lincoln Giants and Baltimore Black Sox of the Eastern Colored League, and the Chicago American Giants, Indianapolis ABCs, and Cleveland Browns of the Negro National League I. This record stood for 94 seasons until it was matched by Oliver Drake in 2018; Mike Baumann and José Ureña have also matched the record.
