'''Charles Sebastian "Red" Dooin''' (June 12, 1879 – May 12, 1952) was an American professional [baseball](/source/baseball) player and [manager](/source/Manager_(baseball)). A [catcher](/source/catcher) in [Major League Baseball](/source/Major_League_Baseball) during the first two decades of the 20th century, he played 1,219 of his 1,290 [games](/source/games_played) as a member of the [Philadelphia Phillies](/source/Philadelphia_Phillies) and managed the Phils from 1910 through 1914.

==Biography==
Born in [Cincinnati](/source/Cincinnati), Ohio, Dooin began his career with the [St. Joseph, Missouri](/source/St._Joseph%2C_Missouri) club of the [Western League](/source/Western_League_(1900%E2%80%931958)) in 1900. Two years later, he reached the Phillies and the [National League](/source/National_League_(baseball)), catching in 84 games. He was the club's regular catcher from 1904 through 1910, and although a broken ankle and a broken leg – suffered in plays at [home plate](/source/home_plate) in 1910 and 1911 – curtailed his playing career, he stayed in the majors as a catcher through 1916. A right-handed hitter, he [batted](/source/batting_average_(baseball)) .240 with ten career [home run](/source/home_run)s.  Oddly, six of those home runs came in one season: 1904, Dooin's first season as a full-time regular.

In 1910, Dooin succeeded [Billy Murray](/source/Billy_Murray_(baseball)) as manager of the Phils; under Murray, the Quakers had placed fifth in 1909. Player-manager Dooin piloted the Phillies for five years and compiled a winning record (392–370, .514). Moreover, along with fellow catcher and player-[coach](/source/coach_(baseball)) [Pat Moran](/source/Pat_Moran_(baseball)), he nurtured the great [pitcher](/source/pitcher) [Grover Cleveland Alexander](/source/Grover_Cleveland_Alexander) to stardom in his earliest big league seasons. The Phillies rose to second place in the 1913 NL, but when they fell to sixth the following season, Dooin was replaced by Moran as the team's skipper.

Still an active player, he then was traded to the [Cincinnati Reds](/source/Cincinnati_Reds) and, ultimately, the [New York Giants](/source/New_York_Giants_(NL)), where he played his final two seasons in the Majors. He caught 111 [shutouts](/source/shutouts_in_baseball) during his career, ranking him 20th all-time among major league catchers.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://bb_catchers.tripod.com/catchers/tmonth1.htm |title=The Encyclopedia of Catchers – Trivia December 2010 – Career Shutouts Caught |publisher=The Encyclopedia of Baseball Catchers |access-date=December 29, 2015 }}</ref>

Dooin died of a heart attack in [Rochester, New York](/source/Rochester%2C_New_York) at the age of 72, and was buried at [Holy Sepulchre Cemetery](/source/Holy_Sepulchre_Cemetery_(Rochester%2C_New_York)).<ref>[https://www.baseball-almanac.com/players/cards.php?p=dooinre01 Baseball-Almanac]</ref>
