Moore attended Minor High School in his hometown of Birmingham, Alabama[1] and played quarterback on the football team.

He originally planned to attend Auburn University on a football scholarship,[2] but in June 1971 was selected by the Milwaukee Brewers in the fifth round of the 1971 MLB draft and elected to play professional baseball instead.

He played in the Brewers' minor league system from 1971 through 1973, with the short season Class A Newark Co-Pilots (1971), Single-A Danville Warriors (1972), Double-A Shreveport Captains (1973), and Triple-A Evansville Triplets (1973).

[7][8] Moore then hit .346 (9-for-26) with three doubles and two RBIs in the 1982 World Series, which the Brewers lost to the St. Louis Cardinals in seven games.

Moore did not get signed by a major league team to start the 1987 season, so he played with the Single-A San Jose Bees through May.

[12] After his playing career ended, and for more than fifteen years, Moore worked as a sales representative for a fastener company in his hometown of Birmingham.
