[edit] Biographical Information
Charlie Starr played for four teams in his three-year major league career. He had most of his at-bats for the 1909 Boston Doves. However, he was traded in July 1909 for Dave Shean, who finished up the year as the regular second baseman for the Doves, while Starr played in only three games for the 1909 Phillies.
He is one of four major leaguers (through 2008) with the last name "Starr".
The February 16, 1907 issue of Sporting Life states that the Youngstown team was informed that Starr had "been awarded to it".
The March 23, 1912 issue of Sporting Life says that Buffalo released Starr to Mobile.
