Charlie Marshall (baseball)

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:

    She might have been old once and now, miraculously, young again—but with the memory of that other life intact. She seemed to know the world down there in the dark hall and beyond for what it was. Yet knowing, she still longed to leave this safe, sunlit place at the top of the house for the challenge there.
    —Paule Marshall (b. 1929)
