[edit] Biographical Information
Charlie Levis was the regular first baseman for the 1884 Baltimore Monumentals of the 1884 Union Association and also played briefly for other major league teams in 1884 and 1885. His minor league career lasted over a decade and he managed several years in the minors.
Although he was born and died in St. Louis, MO, several of the teams for whom he played were in the South.
In 1890 he served as an umpire in the Western Interstate League. He was supposedly killed in a train wreck that year, but it turned out to have been untrue. He was, however, apparently injured in a train incident in 1888.
As of 1896 it was reported that he was working for a wholesaler in St. Louis.
