Root had numerous jobs, such as driver of a grocery wagon, working in a box factory, and being a pattern-maker at the Armco mill. By the time he was twenty, he was playing semipro ball with the Middletown Eagles, making $5 for each game ($88 in current dollar terms) on Sundays before leaving for the Hamilton Engine Works, who offered $35 a game ($615 in current dollar terms) and a job for $50 a week ($879 in current dollar terms). <a href="/wiki/Carl_Weilman" title="Carl Weilman">Carl Weilman</a> of the <a href="/wiki/History_of_the_St._Louis_Browns" class="mw-redirect" title="History of the St. Louis Browns">St. Louis Browns</a> noticed his play (in which he led them to the Southern Ohio industrial league championship) and signed him to a contract.<sup id="cite_ref-sabr_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-sabr-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Root reported to spring training camp for the Browns in <a href="/wiki/Bogalusa,_Louisiana" title="Bogalusa, Louisiana">Bogalusa, Louisiana</a> in 1921. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Career">Career</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Charlie_Root&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Career"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Root began his professional career on April 18, 1923 with the <a href="/wiki/St._Louis_Browns" title="St. Louis Browns">St. Louis Browns</a>.
