Biographical Information

Charlie Levis was the regular first baseman for the Baltimore Monumentals of the Union Association in 1884 and also played briefly for other major league teams in 1884 and 1885. His minor league career lasted over a decade and he managed several years in the minors.

"Neither is it known who will man­age the Baltimore Unions; Chas. H. Levis is among those signed, and as he successfully managed the Peoria Club last season, he may be the man." Sporting Life, Jan. 2,1884, guessing wrong about who the manager would be

Although he was born and died in St. Louis, MO, several of the teams for whom he played were in the South.

In 1890 he served as an umpire in the Western Interstate League. He had earlier worked a couple of games in the American Association in 1882 - before he played in the majors. He was supposedly killed in a train wreck that year, but it turned out to have been untrue. He was, however, apparently injured in a train incident in 1888.

As of 1896 it was reported that he was working for a wholesaler in St. Louis, MO.

Through 2019, the only other big leaguer with the same last name has been Jesse Levis.
