Ralph Benjamin Pond (May 4, 1888 – September 8, 1947) was an American professional baseball outfielder who played briefly for the Boston Red Sox during the season.[1] Pond threw right-handed (batting side unknown). A native of Eau Claire, Wisconsin,[2] he attended the University of Maine, where he played college baseball for the Black Bears from 1909–1910.[3]
Pond was a major leaguer whose career, statistically speaking, was only slightly different from that of Moonlight Graham. On June 8, 1910, he started at center field for Boston in a 5–4 defeat to the Chicago White Sox at South Side Park. He hit a single in four at-bats and stole one base, while committing an error in his only fielding chance. After that, he never appeared in a major league game again.
Pond died at the age of 59 in Cleveland, Ohio.
