Career highlights and awards

Charles Lee Glenn Carr, Jr. (born August 10, 1967 in San Bernardino, California) was an Outfielder for the New York Mets (1990-91), St. Louis Cardinals (1992), Florida Marlins (1993-95), Milwaukee Brewers (1996-97) and Houston Astros (1997).

He helped the Astros win the 1997 National League Central Division.

He led the National League in Stolen Bases (58) in 1993.

In 8 seasons he played in 507 Games, had 1,713 At Bats, 254 Runs, 435 Hits, 81 Doubles, 7 Triples, 13 Home Runs, 123 RBI, 144 Stolen Bases, 149 Walks, .254 Batting Average, .316 On-base percentage, .332 Slugging Percentage, 569 Total Bases, 30 Sacrifice Hits, 10 Sacrifice Flies and 4 Intentional Walks.

Carr is perhaps remembered most for his hasty departure from the Brewers in 1997. After popping out to third base on a two balls, no strike count - Carr was questioned by manager Phil Garner. Carr reportedly replied to Garner by saying in third person: 'That ain't Chuckie's game. Chuckie hacks on 2-0.' He was released from the club shortly thereafter. A Blog about the Milwaukee Brewers, Chuckie Hacks, is named after this incident.
