Chuck Carr

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charles Lee Glenn Carr, Jr. (born August 10, 1967 in San Bernardino, California) was an Outfielder for the New York Mets (1990-91), St. Louis Cardinals (1992), Florida Marlins (1993-95), Milwaukee Brewers (1996-97) and Houston Astros (1997).

He helped the Astros win the 1997 National League Central Division.

He led the National League in Stolen Bases (58) in 1993.

In 8 seasons he played in 507 Games, had 1,713 At Bats, 254 Runs, 435 Hits, 81 Doubles, 7 Triples, 13 Home Runs, 123 RBI, 144 Stolen Bases, 149 Walks, .254 Batting Average, .316 On-base percentage, .332 Slugging Percentage, 569 Total Bases, 30 Sacrifice Hits, 10 Sacrifice Flies and 4 Intentional Walks.

Carr is perhaps remembered most for his hasty departure from the Brewers in 1997. After making out swinging with the count at three balls, no strikes - Carr was questioned by manager Phil Garner. Carr reportedly replied to Garner by saying in third person 'Chucky hacks on 3-0', which led to his release from the club the next day.

He is currently the hitting coach for the Salem Avalanche.
