Detroit Tigers All-Star Charlie Maxwell, 'The Sabbath Smasher,' dies at age 97
Briefly

"There are unusual things that happen in baseball and I guess my Sunday homers are one of them but I can't explain it," Maxwell told the Free Press in 2019.
"Charlie was an excellent hitter and clutch situations never bothered him because he usually produced," former teammate Rocky Colavito told the Free Press in 2019.
"Charlie Maxwell always terrorized us," said former Yankee star and broadcaster Tony Kubek. "He was a very smart dead-pull hitter who studied the pitchers and used Briggs Stadium and Yankee Stadium to his advantage."
