Frederick Herbert (Fred) Carroll (July 2, 1864 – November 7, 1904) was a catcher and outfielder in Major League Baseball. From 1884 through 1891, he played with the Columbus Buckeyes (1884) and for the Pittsburgh teams Alleghenys (1885–89), Burghers (1890) and Pirates (1891). Carroll batted and threw right-handed. He was born in Sacramento, California. ==Baseball career== In an eight-season Major League career, Carroll posted a .284 batting average with 27 home runs and 366 RBI in 754 games played. In 1886 Carroll compiled career-high numbers in hits (140) and doubles (28) while batting .288 with 92 runs and 64 RBI. The next season he went .328, 71, 54, and had a career-high 15 triples. In August 1886, Carroll was briefly suspended after fighting with a teammate, first baseman Otto Schomberg. Schomberg was unpopular with his teammates, and the fight started after Carroll referred to him with what ''The Sporting News'' subsequently termed "vile names". The pair were separated by Frank Ringo and Ed Glenn, and while Carroll was immediately suspended, the suspension was short-lived. The directors of the Pittsburg Alleghenys convened a meeting that night, and after the players refused to testify, Carroll was reinstated and his penalty was reduced to a $50 fine.〔"Caught on the Fly", The Sporting News, p. 5, published August 23, 1886, accessed January 31, 2008.〕 On May 2, 1887 Carroll became the first Pittsburgh player to hit for the cycle. Carroll died in San Rafael, California, at age 40. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fred Carroll」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
