Jeff SSome interesting tidbits:
On May 18, 1897, he hit four triples in one game.
He was manager of the Giants from 1896 to 1898--the obit says:
"In the season of 1898 Joyce fell into the bad graces of Andrew Freedman, club owner, by losing six games in a row in June and was succeeded in the management by Captain Adrian C. Anson, who had left the Chicago Cubs some time before. The change did not help the Giants and Joyce finally was induced to return to the leadership. The club finished seventh in 1898 and Joyce refused to report in 1899 and went into the hotel business with Patsy Tebeau, another famous manager."
Not the whole story, I'm sure, but a good start...
