After Chuck graduated from Seguin High School The Tigers offered him a “pretty good bonus” but he declined, in order to take the U.T. scholarship offer. He was 18-6 in his time at the university, fending off another bonus offer from the Phillies. “I couldn’t accept it,” he said a few years later, “since I promised Mr. Falk that I would fulfill the four-year scholarship.”

He was signed by the Chicago Cubs in 1964 out of U.T. He played for the Cubs until 1968, before joining the Pittsburgh Pirates (1969–70), St. Louis Cardinals. (1970), Boston Red Sox (1970), and Toronto Blue Jays (1977). For more information on the Longhorn baseball years 1962-1964 click on https://texas-lsn.squarespace.com/bibb-falk

Chuck Hartenstein

Bill Nowlin

Basically, Hartenstein reached the major-league level in three different ways — as a pitcher, a pitching coach, and a major-league advance scout.

A Canadian website pointed out he was the only person in a
big-league uniform for the first game at Toronto’s Exhibition Stadium

In 2015, using his sense of humor he told interviewer Kevin Glew, “Physically I’m deteriorating, but my mind is still as dull as ever. I’m just having a ball sitting here and drinking Budweiser and being around my family.

In a six-season career, Hartenstein posted a 17–19 record with a
3.63 ERA and 23 saves in 187 relief appearances, including 88 games finished, A 1.52 strikeout-to-walk ratio (135-to-89),
and 297 innings of work.
