Charlie Marshall (baseball)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charles Anthony Marshall [born Charles Anthony Marczlewicz] (August 28, 1919 - April 15, 2007) was a catcher in Major League Baseball who played for the St. Louis Cardinals during the 1941 season. A native of Wilmington, Delaware, he batted and threw right-handed.

Marshall was a major league player whose career, statistically speaking, was only slightly different than that of Eddie Gaedel or Moonlight Graham. On June 14, 1941, he catched for the Cardinals and collected a putout in his only fielding chance. He did not have a batting appearance and never played a major league game again.

Marshall died in his homeland of Wilmington, Delaware at age 87.
