Charlie Keller was born on Tuesday, September 12, 1916, in Middletown, Maryland. Keller was 22 years old when he broke into the big leagues on April 22, 1939, with the New York Yankees. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Charlie Keller baseball stats page.
"In 1939, the Yankees promoted the super-prospect they'd kept down in the minors for a few years. His name was Charlie Keller, a short (5-foot-10) but powerfully built outfielder with eyebrows that had been borrowed from a passing lowlands gorilla. Lefty Gomez said Keller didn't look like he'd been scouted, he looked like he'd been trapped." - Sportscaster Steven Goldman on YES Network (11/29/2004)
