About Charlie White
Charlie White, a left-handed-hitting catcher born August 12, 1927, in Kinston, North Carolina, broke into pro ball with the Philadelphia Stars of the Negro American League in 1950, earning Negro League All-Star recognition that year. Acquired afterward by the St. Louis Browns, he spent three seasons in their farm system before being traded to the Milwaukee Braves prior to 1954 (in the deal for pitcher Vern Bickford). White served as Del Crandall's backup receiver and, notably, was Hank Aaron's first major-league roommate. Over parts of two seasons (1954-1955) he appeared in 62 games, batting .236 with 29 hits, 5 doubles, one home run, and 12 RBI. That lone big-league homer came April 23, 1954, off Cot Deal in the 13th inning at St. Louis' Busch Stadium. This is White's rookie card; the set also lists him as "Chuck White." After his brief MLB stint he played roughly ten more seasons at the Triple-A level, mostly in the Pacific Coast League. He died May 26, 1998.
