Charles Lee Glenn Carr Jr. (August 10, 1967 – November 12, 2022) was an American Major League Baseball outfielder.
Career
Carr did not receive much playing time until the 1993 expansion draft saw him play as an original member of the Miami Marlins. Carr topped the National League in stolen bases that year with 58.
In an eight-season career, he played in 507 games, had 1,713 at-bats, 254 runs, 435 hits, 81 doubles, seven triples, 13 home runs, 123 RBI, 144 stolen bases, 149 walks, a .254 batting average, .316 on-base percentage, .332 slugging percentage, 569 total bases, 30 sacrifice hits, 10 sacrifice flies, and four Intentional walks.
Carr is perhaps remembered most for his departure from the Milwaukee Brewers in 1997. After popping out to third base on a two balls, no strike count, after being signaled to take the next pitch, Carr was questioned by manager Phil Garner. Carr reportedly replied to Garner by saying in the third person: "That ain't Chuckie's game. Chuckie hacks on 2-0." He was released from the club shortly thereafter. He played the rest of that season with the Houston Astros, who won the 1997 National League Central. He hit a postseason home run off John Smoltz in Game 3 of the 1997 National League Division Series. The home run came in the final at bat of his major-league career.
Personal life and death
Carr died on November 12, 2022, at the age of 55. He was remembered by Fox News as, "a Major League Baseball outfielder who was a part of the inaugural Florida Marlins team and led the National League in stolen bases in 1993."
