Moore was a good contact hitter with little power who backed up Darrell Porter at catcher for the Brewers for three seasons, then started from 1977 to 1980 before being forced back to the bench by the acquisition of Ted Simmons in 1981. In 1982 the strong-armed Moore shifted to right field, where he led AL outfielders with six double plays, and he remained there until 1985, when he moved back behind the plate. Moore hit .300 in 1979 and .301 in 1981 (in only 48 games), but usually batted near the bottom of the order, and never drove in more than 49 runs in a season. (SCL)

FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY » July 19, 1978: The Red Sox beat the Brewers 8–2, scoring four in the 7th and four in the 8th, to increase their lead in the American League Eastern Division to nine games over Milwaukee, 12 1/2 over Baltimore, and 14 games over the 4th-place Yankees. In the 7th, the Sox have George Scott on 2B and Butch Hobson, playing his first game in weeks because of muscle spasms, on 1B. On a Frank Duffy single, Scott scores on a close play, prompting an argument by Brews' catcher Charlie Moore. No time is called, however, and Hobson strolls around the bases to score from first, while Duffy is finally thrown out trying for 3B. Fisk accounts for the other three runs in the inning with his 13th homer of the year. » October 1, 1980: Batting 9th, Milwaukee's Charlie Moore hits for the cycle to lead the Brewers to a 10–7 win over the Angels.
