About Charlie Moore
In 1979 he hit .300 with 101 hits in 111 games. He was hitting .377 at midseason, signed another multiyear contract and split the catching with Buck Martinez. He played catcher in 106 games and added five home runs and 38 RBIs. His #408 card lists him with the Brewers.
Charlie Moore was a Milwaukee Brewers catcher and right fielder who played 1,334 major league games from 1973 to 1987, all but 51 of them for Milwaukee. A fifth-round draft pick in June 1971 out of Birmingham, Alabama, where he had been a quarterback at Minor High School, he debuted on September 8, 1973, and never went back to the minors. He came up as the understudy to catcher Darrell Porter and hit a career-high .301 in the strike-shortened 1981 season. In 1982 he moved to right field and led all right fielders in double plays and fielding percentage; in the fifth game of that year's ALCS he threw Reggie Jackson out at third base. He hit .346 in the 1982 World Series against St. Louis. On October 1, 1980, he hit for the cycle and stole two bases in the same game, a combination no other major leaguer has matched. After one season with the Toronto Blue Jays in 1987, he finished with a .261 career average. He was named to the Milwaukee Brewers Wall of Honor in 2014 and died in 2026.
