Biography
Boak was born in New Castle, Pennsylvania. His pro career lasted for eight total seasons (1955–57; 1960–64). In 1960, after compiling 96 runs batted in in the Double-A Southern Association and being named all-star second-baseman, Boak was recalled by the Athletics in September. He started four games at second base, and collected two hits (both of them singles) in 13 at bats. He then was selected by the Senators with the 54th pick in the 1960 Major League Baseball expansion draft, and went hitless in seven at bats for them during the opening weeks of the 1961 season.

He appeared in 891 minor-league games over his career and batted .280 lifetime.
