    For Charlie, can someone update to show his Japanese stats and also a word or 2 about that. Couple awesome seasons there 

    The best part about these bios is that anyone can create or add to them. Click the View Player Bio link in the post above yours.

    If his foreign stats are available, they're probably included in the Baseball Reference link. Feel free to add pertinent information to that page, including his years overseas!
