Charlie Dees

Charles Henry Dees (born June 24, 1935) is a retired American professional baseball player whose career extended from 1957 through 1966.

The first baseman appeared in 98 games played in Major League Baseball over parts of three seasons (1963–65) for the Los Angeles/California Angels.

He played for the Louisville Clippers of the Negro leagues in 1957[1] before signing with the San Francisco Giants' organization the following year.

During a 4-for-35 drought that lasted into early July, his average fell below .300 and he was sent back to Hawaii at month's end, batting .281.

Back in the hitting-friendly confines of El Paso, three years after his strong 1962 campaign for the Sun Kings, the 30-year-old Dees batted .377 and earned a last call-up to the Angels in September.
