Charles Anthony Marshall (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. He was nicknamed Chick.
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 caught 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.
Famous quotes containing the word marshall:
“So long as the source of our identity is external—vested in how others judge our performance at work, or how others judge our children’s performance, or how much money we make—we will find ourselves hopelessly flawed, forever short of the ideal.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
