Although pitchers rarely do much at the plate, "Chuck" tied a Major League record in 1950 when he walked 4 times in a row in 4 straight innings. An All-Southern halfback in high school as well as an All-State basketball player, he was signed by the Red Sox for $35,000 as a bonus player in 1947. Chuck didn't get much chance to pitch until '49 when he won 11. In '50 he won 12. November 1951 he went to the White Sox.
• Factoid: Bo Jackson played Outfield for the powerful White Sox.
