Carl McNabb

Carl McNabb

Carl "Skinny" McNabb (January 25 1917July 16 2007) was a pinch-hitter in Major League Baseball who played briefly for the Detroit Tigers during the by|1945 season. Listed at 5'9", 155 lb., McNabb batted and threw right-handed. He was born in Stevenson, Alabama.

McNabb was a major league player whose career, statistically speaking, was only slightly different than that of Eddie Gaedel or Moonlight Graham. He was hitless, striking out in his only at-bat, and never made it back to the majors. He later managed the Tyler Trojans, a Cincinnati Reds affiliate team, in 1947 and 1948.

Following his baseball career, McNabb moved to Jasper, Tennessee, where he ran a grocery store then became a rural mail carrier for 22 years. He was a veteran of the U.S. Army who served in World War II as a medic, and also started and coached an American Legion Baseball team in Jasper. He died at a local hospital at age 90.
