In 1943 he appeared in five games as a backup for first baseman Frank McCormick.
He enrolled in the United States Army in 1944, serving for two and half years before rejoining the Reds in the 1946 midseason as a reserve player and pinch hitter. In a two-season career, Goldstein was a .100 hitter (1-for-10) with a run scored and a .308 on-base percentage in 11 games. Goldstein died on January 28, 2013 at the age of 94.
