Chalmer Luman Harris was an American right-handed pitcher, coach, manager, and scout in Major League Baseball. Born in the village of New Castle, Alabama, his playing career began with the Atlanta Crackers of the Southern Association in 1937. His catcher that season was Paul Richards, who in 1938 became Atlanta's player-manager. Richards and Harris would form a decades-long association in baseball at the minor and Major League levels. The 6 ft 1 in, 185 lb Harris compiled a 35?63 record with a 4.16 earned-run average in 151 American League games with the Philadelphia Athletics and Washington Senators from 1941?47. The remainder of his Major League career would be spent working in tandem with Richards, initially as a coach with the Chicago White Sox, Baltimore Orioles, and Houston Colt .45s. In each case he worked under Richards, who was either his manager, general manager, or both. Despite his playing background, Harris was never a pitching coach; he usually served as a third-base coach.
