Senators Birthday
Charles Edward (Chuck) Hinton, Jr. B May 3, 1934 D Jan 27, 2013
Fans of the early expansion Senators probably remember Chuck Hinton as one of the few bright spots on an otherwise lackluster roster. Chuck spent 11 years in the majors, starting with the Washington Senators in 1961. He spent 1965-1967 & 1969-1971 on the roster of the Cleveland Indians, with an interruption in 1968 playing for the California Angels.
Probably Chuck’s best year came in 1962 when he hit .310 with 17 home runs in 151 games for a Senators team that would lose 101 games.
