Charles Anthony Suck (Born: Zuck) (June 11, 1858 - January 29, 1895) was a Major League Baseball player, from Chicago, Illinois, who mainly played catcher for three teams over the span of two seasons. He debuted for the 1883 Buffalo Bisons of the National League. He only played in two games, and had zero base hit in 7 at bats. Tony then played the next season in the short-lived Union Association in 1884. He split the season playing for the Baltimore Monumentals and the Chicago Browns/Pittsburgh Stogies.[1]
A highly regarded individual in the Chicago and minor league baseball communities, he was well-liked for his easy going nature and played amateur and semi-professional ball nearly up to the end of his life, which occurred at the age of 36 after a bout with Pneumonia, and was interred at Oak Woods Cemetery.[2][1]
