Daniel Kennard (September 3, 1883 – May 21, 1947) was an American Negro leagues catcher for several years before the founding of the first Negro National League, and in its first few seasons.
On July 28, 1915, 31 year-old Kennard moved from the West Baden Sprudels to become the catcher for the Indianapolis ABCs. He started his first game for the A.B.C.s by pitching.[4]
Kennard died at the age of 63 in St. Louis, Missouri and is buried at St. Peter's Cemetery in Hillsdale, MO.
