Overview
- The Milwaukee Brewers confirmed Sunday that Charlie Moore died at age 72 and posted a tribute calling him an unselfish, versatile teammate.
- Moore spent 14 of his 15 major league seasons with Milwaukee and split time as a catcher and outfielder, a rare positional arc that increased his value to the team.
- His most remembered play came in Game 5 of the 1982 ALCS when a throw from right field retired Reggie Jackson at third base and helped send the Brewers to the World Series.
- Moore also produced notable career milestones including hitting for the cycle while stealing two bases in one game on October 1, 1980 and being the last player driven in by Hank Aaron.
- The club and fans have marked his passing with tributes and a moment of silence at American Family Field, and Moore’s honors include the Brewers Wall of Honor and a 2025 Alabama Sports Hall of Fame induction.
