Larry Woodall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles Lawrence "Larry" 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 batted and threw right-handed.
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.
