Rutgers Athletics Hall of Fame
The late Charles Bert Garrett Sr. was a pitcher on the Rutgers baseball team from 1928-1930. Garrett ranks sixth on the all-time Rutgers list for strikeouts with 166. He also ranks third amongst Scarlet Knight pitchers for career complete games with 17, and is tied for fourth all-time for single season complete games with seven pitched in 1928, when Garrett ran the table to a 9-0 undefeated season, including a victory over Holy Cross, the top team in the nation. Garrett is tied for fourth in both single-season wins (nine) and single-season strikeouts (73) during his 1928 campaign. He held seven single season or career records for over 55 years, and is still in the top 10 in those categories 84 years later. Although Baseball did not name All-Americans when Garrett played, he was part of the "best battery in the U.S.", which would have earned All-America recognition today. Garrett played football for two seasons before dedicating himself to baseball, and he joins his brother Alfred T. Garrett as only the 2nd pair of known siblings in the Rutgers Athletics Hall of Fame.
