Charles Dallan Maxvill (born February 18, 1939) is an American shortstop, coach and general manager in Major League Baseball (MLB).
He also received his only Most Valuable Player award votes (finishing in twentieth place) and won his only Gold Glove.
(The Sporting News Baseball Record, 2007, p. 19) After batting .221 in 105 games during the first 4+1⁄2 months of the campaign, he was acquired by the Oakland Athletics from the Cardinals for minor-league third baseman Joe Lindsey on August 30, 1972.
[6] The deal occurring one day prior to the waiver trade deadline meant that he was eligible to be on the A's roster for its postseason run.
In 1981, Maxvill worked as a minor league instructor for the Cardinals when new manager Whitey Herzog brought in his own coaches.
[9] Longtime owner and president August "Gussie" Busch died in September 1989 and Anheuser-Busch took over operations of the team.
[14] The next year, Anheuser-Busch sold the team to an investment group led by Fred Hanser, Drew Baur and William DeWitt, Jr.[15] At this point, Maxvill pursued no further baseball opportunities, citing the desire to spend more time with his family.
