Biographical Information

Carl "Sox" Husta appeared in six games for the 1925 Athletics but was much more famous as an early professional basketball player.

He backed up Chick Galloway at shortstop on a team that won 88 games.

He also played in the Piedmont League.

As a basketball player, he was with Kingston in 1923 and with the Cleveland Rosenblums in 1926-29 and perhaps longer. He also played with the Celtics.

Mickey Husta, presumably a brother, was also on the Kingston team.
