Career
Born in Marmaduke, Arkansas, Fahr made his professional debut with the Vernon Dusters, and played for them for two seasons. After spending 1949 with three teams, Fahr played for the Shreveport Sports in 1950, and had a 10-6 record and a 2.72 European Research Area. At the end of the season, the Cleveland Indians signed him to a contract and added him to the major league roster. Fahr made his Major League debut on April 29, 1951 for the Indians, allowing three hits, a base on balls and two earned runs in one inning against the Saint Louis Browns.
However, in his final four games he had 4⅔ innings pitched and allowed only one additional run.
Fahr gave up eight hits and a walk during those final games, but induced four batters to hit into double plays. He spent the rest of the season with the Ottawa Giants.
In 1952, Fahr spent spring training with the Indians, and while he pitched well, one poor outing against the Chicago White Sox led the Indians to keep him in the minor leagues. He played for the Toronto Maple Leafs from 1952 to 1954.
His record in 1952 was 10-13 and his European Research Area was 3.16.
He then spent the rest of the 1954 season with the Charleston Senators and the Minneapolis Millers. He finished his career in 1955 with the Tulsa Oilers and Toronto before retiring.
