Sonny Boswell
Wyatt "Sonny" Boswell (born c. 1919; died October 19, 1964) was an early African American professional basketball player. He was born in Greenville, Mississippi and grew up in Toledo, Ohio, where he attended Scott High School. He played for the Harlem Globetrotters from 1939 to 1942.
Boswell was known for taking long distance trick shots to entertain the fans. Abe Saperstein, the manager of the Globetrotters, described Boswell as "one of the great long shot artists of his day".〔"Ex-Trotter suffers fatal heart attack". ''Chicago Defender''. October 20, 1964. 21.〕 In 1940, Boswell was named MVP of the World Professional Basketball Tournament after scoring eleven points in the Globetrotters' 31-29 championship win over the Chicago Bruins.〔"Globe Trotters cop world pro cage crown". ''Chicago Defender''. March 30, 1940. 22.〕〔Ryan E. Smith. "(At least 11 men with Toledo ties played for the Harlem Globetrotters )". ''Toledo Blade''. October 2008. Retrieved on January 31, 2009.〕
During the 1942-43 season, Boswell played for the Chicago Studebaker Flyers of the National Basketball League. He was one of a group of former Harlem Globetrotters who joined the previously all-white NBL to replace players who had recently been drafted for World War II.〔Todd Gould. ''Pioneers of the Hardwood''. Indiana University Press, 1998. 116.〕 Over the years, Boswell also appeared in games for the New York Renaissance〔"Rens win in $3,000 cage tournament". ''Chicago Defender''. March 27, 1943. 21.〕 and the Chicago Monarchs.〔"Collegians and Monarchs win". ''Chicago Defender''. January 19, 1946. 7.〕
After his basketball career, Boswell settled in Chicago, where he managed the Pershing Hotel and later owned his own bowling alley, called Sonny Boswell's South Park Bowl. He died of a heart attack at age 45 in 1964.〔
