Charles E. Mason (June 25, 1853 – October 21, 1936) was an American professional baseball player who played from 1875–1883, primarily as an outfielder.
Mason was considered a pioneer of baseball in Philadelphia. When Mason fell in 1879, a benefit game was played between the city's top professionals at Recreation Park and the gate receipts donated to Mason.[1] The Philadelphia Phillies and Philadelphia Athletics played an exhibition benefit game to honor Mason on April 10, 1928 at Shibe Park.[2]
