Carl Barger

Carl F. Barger (August 18, 1930 – December 9, 1992) was an American Pittsburgh attorney and baseball executive.

Barger became the President of the Pittsburgh Pirates Major League Baseball team, serving from 1987 through the beginning of 1991.

However, he would not live to see the new team take the field, as he suffered an aneurysm during MLB's Winter Meetings in 1992 in Louisville, Kentucky, and later died.

The only other person to have a uniform number retired by the Marlins is Jackie Robinson, whose number 42 jersey has been retired throughout Major League Baseball to honor his achievement of breaking baseball's color barrier.

Additionally, the Marlins designated the practice areas and fields next to Space Coast Stadium in Viera, Florida, their original Florida Spring Training facility, as the Carl F. Barger Baseball Complex.
