He was acquired by the Phils in 1928: In 1930, 1931, and 1932 he led the National League in runs scored. In 1930, 1932, and 1933 he led the National League in total bases hit. In 1931, and in 1933, he led the National League in runs batted in. "Chuck" was voted the most valuable player in the National League in 1932. The Phils traded Klein to the Chicago Cubs at the end of the 1933 season. He returned to the Phils in the middle of the 1936 season, and was purchased, in June, 1939, by the Pittsburgh Pirates.
