Red Dooin

Red Dooin

Charles Sebastian "Red" Dooin (June 12 1879May 12 1952) was an American catcher and manager in Major League Baseball during the first two decades of the 20th century. He played 1,219 of his 1,290 games as a member of the Philadelphia Phillies and managed the Phils from 1910 through 1914.

Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Dooin began his career with the St. Joseph, Missouri club of the Western League in 1900. Two years later, he reached the Phillies and the National League, catching in 84 games. He was the club’s regular catcher from 1904 through 1910, and although a broken ankle and a broken leg – suffered in plays at home plate in 1910 and 1911 – curtailed his playing career, he stayed in the majors as a catcher through 1916. A righthanded hitter, he batted .240 with ten career home runs.

In 1910, Dooin succeeded Billy Murray as manager of the Phils; under Murray, the Quakers had placed fifth in 1909. Player-manager Dooin piloted the Phillies for five years and compiled a winning record (392-370, .514). Moreover, along with fellow catcher and player-coach Pat Moran, he nurtured the great pitcher Grover Cleveland Alexander to stardom in his earliest big league seasons. The Phillies rose to second place in the 1913 NL, but when they fell to sixth the following season, Dooin was replaced by Moran as the Philadelphia mentor.

Still an active player, he then was traded to the Cincinnati Reds and, ultimately, the New York Giants, where he finished his career in 1915-16.

Red Dooin died of a heart attack in Rochester, New York at the age of 72, and was laid to rest at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery. [ [http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=22833 Find A Grave] . Retrieved November 12, 2006.]
