Fred Carroll

Frederick Herbert Carroll (July 2, 1864 – November 7, 1904) was an American catcher and outfielder in Major League Baseball.

In an eight-season Major League career, Carroll posted a .284 batting average with 27 home runs and 366 RBI in 754 games played.

Schomberg was unpopular with his teammates, and the fight started after Carroll referred to him with what The Sporting News subsequently termed "vile names".

The directors of the Pittsburgh Alleghenys convened a meeting that night, and after the players refused to testify, Carroll was reinstated and his penalty was reduced to a $50 fine.

James also remarks that Carroll's major league career was shortened by his dislike of living on the East Coast.
