Outfielder Chuck Carr, briefly a member of the Milwaukee Brewers in the late 1990s and author of a memorable quote in Brewers lore, has died at age 55 according to an announcement on Facebook, relayed by Miami Herald reporter Craig Mish among others.
The tribute from his family suggested Carr had been battling health issues….
Carr caught on with the Houston Astros and homered off John Smoltz in the seventh inning of Game 3 in the 1997 National League Division Series — the final at-bat of Carr’s career.
Carr finished fourth in the Rookie of the Year voting in 1993 with the inaugural Marlins team after he was taken with the 14th pick of the expansion draft. He stole 58 bases to lead the league in 1993 and 32 the year after that.

That's fantastic. RIP Chuckie.
Chuckie came around at that time, and fit the mold to be a real life Willie Mays Hayes. 55 is too young. Keep on hackin, Chuckie.
So, the 1993 Marlins.
Sigh. I'm old.
RIP Chucky. I'm a take and rake fan and ... that wasn't his game. Still enjoyed watching him play.
