Carson Lee "Skeeter"[1] Bigbee (March 31, 1895 – October 17, 1964) was an American outfielder in Major League Baseball who played his entire career with the Pittsburgh Pirates. He was born in Lebanon, Oregon, and attended the University of Oregon.[2]

Bigbee's brother Lyle also played Major League Baseball.[3]

Bigbee led the National League in singles in 1921 and 1922.[4][5]

In 1147 games over 11 seasons, Bigbee batted .287 (1205-for-4192) with 629 runs scored, 17 home runs and 324 RBI.

In 1926, Bigbee was released along with Pirates pitcher Babe Adams after supporting the removal of meddlesome former manager and part-owner Fred Clarke from the team's dugout.[6][7]

After his playing career ended, he coached the Muskegon Lassies and Springfield Sallies of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.[1]

Bigbee died at the age of 69 in Portland, Oregon.[2] He was interred at the Willamette National Cemetery in Portland.[2]
