Larry Woodall

Charles Lawrence Woodall (July 26, 1894 – May 16, 1963) was a backup catcher in Major League Baseball. He played ten seasons in the American League with the Detroit Tigers (1920-29). Born in Staunton, Virginia, he attended Wake Forest University and the University of North Carolina.

During most of Woodall's playing career, he played behind two starting catchers of the Tigers, Johnny Bassler and Oscar Stanage. For one season in 1927, however, he played a career-high 86 games at catcher during manager George Moriarty's first season. Woodall posted a .997 fielding percentage (committing one error), the best percentage among all starting catchers that season. He hit over .300 in three seasons and had a career batting average of .268 in 548 games. Woodall batted and threw right-handed.

Woodall's post-playing career included stints as a manager in the Pacific Coast League, then more than two decades with the Boston Red Sox, as a coach, director of public relations, and scout. He remained a Boston employee until his death at age 68 in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
