[edit] Biographical Information

Charlie Moore was slightly built as a catcher (5'11", 180 pounds), but this physical build gave him great versatility as a ballplayer. He was as good an outfielder as he was a catcher, and an athletic base runner also (he finished his career with more triples -- 43 -- than home runs -- 36).

Moore's father, Charles Sr., was a minor league pitcher.

[edit] Miscellaneous

On May 4, 1976, playing for the Brewers against the Rangers, Moore hit the third home run of his career and his teammate Hank Aaron hit his 746th. The difference of 743 remained a record until August 8, 2007; when Barry Bonds hit his 757th and Matt Cain his first, for the Giants against the Nationals.
