Charlie Hamburg

Charlie Hamburg was a professional baseball player born in 1866, who made his mark in the sport during the late 19th century, an era characterized by the transition from the deadball period to a more offensive-minded game. Hamburg's career spanned from April 18, 1890, to October 14, 1890, during which he played a total of 133 games. His performance at the plate was notable; he recorded 132 hits, achieved a batting average of .272, and contributed 77 runs batted in (RBIs) to his team. In addition to his hitting prowess, Hamburg showcased his speed on the bases, successfully stealing 46 bases throughout his brief career, which underscored his aggressive playing style. He also demonstrated power by hitting 3 home runs, a respectable feat during a time when home runs were less common than they would become in later decades. Although Hamburg's playing career was limited to a single season, his contributions to the game during a transformative period in baseball history remain a part of the sport's rich tapestry.
