Matthews-Carlos

Year Inducted – 1996

Carlos joins his brother Pete as the eleventh set of brother inductees. Most of their playing days were spent as teammates, so it is only fitting they be united in the Hall of Fame. Carlos was the second base half of a double play combination that helped the Krispy Kremes, Canton Road Furniture, and the Redl Golf teams to several AA Championships. In addition to those teams Carlos played for Springfield High School, Lakemore Night Club, Krumroy Markets, J.Q.U.A.M. and Wadsworth Merchants. A service stint in the U.S. Air Force enabled him to play for the base team in Charleston, S.C. When he was shipped overseas he made the Wake Island Base team that played other service teams on the Pacific rim. His smooth fielding and timely hitting gained him All-Star status on two occasions.
