Player Biography
A multi-talented star, Oscar Charleston was renowned by those who saw him play as perhaps the finest all-around player in Negro leagues history. A barrel-chested, left-handed hitter, the fiery Charleston hit for both average and power while revolutionizing defensive play in centerfield. His blazing speed, aggressiveness on the basepaths and focused intensity led many to compare him to Ty Cobb. Former Negro leagues teammate Ben Taylor hailed Charleston as “the greatest outfielder that ever lived.”
