Your correct, he and his brothers loved baseball, Charlie and another brother went to minors and played along time. Charlie wasn’t able to continue pitching with arm/shoulder trouble. However he sang and had lots of fun on and off the field! He was part of Texas Rangers ownership. He was an inspiration. Many stories of him will be enjoyed. A great entertainer with humility!
