Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox baseball biographyFred Charles Richards (November 3, 1927 – March 18, 2016),[1] nicknamed "Fuzzy", was an American professional baseball player. Richards, a first baseman, played eleven seasons of minor league baseball and appeared in ten games played in the Major Leagues for the Chicago Cubs in the waning weeks of the Шаблон:Baseball year season. He threw and batted left-handed, stood Шаблон:Convert tall and weighed Шаблон:Convert.

Born in Warren, Ohio in 1927, Richards signed with the Cubs in 1946 as a 19-year-old. He had finished his sixth season in the Cubs' farm system when he was called to the Majors in 1951. Ironically, 1951 had been Richards' worst pro season, as he batted only .223 in 120 games split between the Class A Des Moines Bruins and the Triple-A Springfield Cubs.[2] In his first at bat on September 15, facing Sheldon Jones, he flied out to center fielder Willie Mays of the New York Giants,[3] but overall he collected eight hits (including two doubles) in 27 at bats during his Major League audition. Richards would split 1952 between Des Moines and Springfield again, but he never returned to the Major Leagues.
