Career highlights and awards

Carrenza M. "Schoolboy" Howard (January 10, 1914 – February 1, 2003) was an American right-handed baseball pitcher in the Negro leagues. He played from 1940 to 1947, mostly with the New York Cubans and the Indianapolis Clowns.[1][2]

While pitching with the Cubans in 1944, he was credited with a 24-4 record against all opponents, though in his first two years with the team, his league ledger shows marks of 0-1 and 2-1. Records note that most of the teams games were played during that time were non-league teams.[1]

Howard was born in Daytona Beach, Florida. While attending Shaw University in Raleigh, North Carolina, he was a three-time letterman, thus earning his nickname, "Schoolboy."[1][2]

His birthdate is sometimes listed as 1920.[1]
