[edit] Biography

Born on March 17, 1899 in Middletown, Ohio, Charlie Root (Charles Henry Root) played for the St. Louis Browns and Chicago Cubs over the course of his 17 year career. Root broke into the bigs on April 18, 1923 with the St. Louis Browns, and put up a 5.70 ERA in 60 innings pitched in 1923, his rookie year.

There is some disagreement on what was Charlie Root's most productive season. Some believe that it was 1927, when he posted a 3.76 ERA, won 26 games and struck out 145 batters. However, others believe that it was 1926, when he posted a 2.82 ERA, won 18 games and struck out 127 batters. Another season that some believe was Charlie Root's best was 1929, when he posted a 3.47 ERA, won 19 games and struck out 124 batters.
