A birth certificate is a Vital record that documents the birth of a child [1] In his early teens, Pride began to play the guitar.
Though he also loved music, one of Pride's life-long dreams was to become a professional baseball player. Baseball is a Bat-and-ball Sport played between two teams of nine players each In 1952, he pitched for the Memphis Red Sox of the Negro American League. In Baseball, the pitcher is the player who throwsthe baseball from the Pitcher's mound toward the Catcher to begin each play with the goal of The Memphis Red Sox were a professional Negro League Baseball team based in Memphis Tennessee from the 1920s until the end of segregated baseball The Negro American League was one of the several Negro Leagues which were created during the time organized baseball was segregated He pitched well, and, in 1953, he signed a contract with the Boise Yankees, the Class C farm team of the New York Yankees.

During that season, an injury caused him to lose the "mustard" on his fastball, and he was sent down to the Yankees' Class D team in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Fond du Lac is a city in Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin, United States. Later on that season, while back in the Negro Leagues with the Louisville Clippers, he and another player (Jesse Mitchell), were traded to the Birmingham Black Barons for a team bus. "Jesse and I may have the distinction of being the only players in history to be traded for a used motor vehicle," Pride mused in his 1994 autobiography. Year 1994 ( MCMXCIV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link will display full 1994 Gregorian calendar) [2]
He pitched for several other minor league teams, his hopes of eventually making it to the big leagues still alive. Pride appeared to be on his way to a career in baseball, but the U.S. Army had other plans for him. The United States Army is a military organization whose primary mission is to "provide necessary forces and capabilities. After serving two years in the military, he tried to return to baseball. [3] Though hindered by an injury to his throwing arm, Pride briefly played for the Missoula Timberjacks of the Pioneer League (a farm club of the Cincinnati Reds) in 1960, and had tryouts with the New York Mets and California Angels organizations.

A baseball field or baseball diamond is the field upon which the game of Baseball is played [4]
On June 5, 2008, Charley, his brother, Mack "The Knife" Pride, and 28 other former living Negro League players were "drafted" by each of the 30 Major League Baseball teams in a recognition of the on-field achievements and historical relevance of 30 mostly forgotten Negro Leaguer stars.
