Brewers Video

Charles Lee Glenn Carr was born in 1967 in San Bernardino, California. After graduating from Fontana High School, Carr was selected in the ninth round of the 1986 MLB Amateur Draft by the Cincinnati Reds. The Reds had little patience with Carr, releasing him after just one season. He was signed by the Seattle Mariners, and they held onto Carr for two seasons in the minors and then he was traded to the New York Mets.

Carr made his major league debut in 1990, but he bounced around for the next two years between the Mets and the minors before being traded to the St. Louis Cardinals after the 1991 season. After a September call-up in 1992 with the Cardinals in which Carr stole 10 bases, the Florida Marlins selected him in the 1992 expansion draft.

The switch-hitting speedster led the NL with 58 steals in 1993 and finished fourth in the NL ROY balloting. He stole 57 bases over the next two years and was traded to the Brewers after the 1995 season.

Carr got off to a good start in 1996, but his season ended after two months due to a major knee injury. He came back in 1997 but got off to a terrible start (6-for-46) and after popping up on a 2-0 pitch he had been instructed to take, he reportedly told manager Phil Garner, “Chuckie hacks on 2-0.” He was released after refusing an assignment to the minors. He finished up the season with Houston and was granted his free agency after the season. He never played in the bigs again.

After a battle with cancer, Carr died on November 12, 2022. He was 55 years old.

Utility Man Mark Loretta Could Do It All

Mark Loretta was signed as an All-American shortstop out of Northwestern University in the seventh round of the 1993 MLB Amateur Draft by the Brewers. Whether it was their plan or not, Loretta made over 100 career starts at all four infield posts for Milwaukee in an eight-year career in Brew City. Loretta also handled the bat well with a slash line of .289/.355/.385 in nearly 2,600 ABs for the Crew.
