Maxwell was selected for the A.L. All-Star team in 1956, when he batted a career high .326, and was chosen again in 1957.
On May 3, 1959, Charlie Maxwell hit home runs in four successive official at-bats, tying a major league record, a feat duplicated by few.
Despite an impressive career hitting 148 home runs and driving in 532 runs, Maxwell never played on a pennant-winning club.
