Charles Joseph Ritter (October 1868 – December 13, 1958) was a Major League Baseball player.
Born in 1868 at Buffalo, New York, he played for the 1885 Buffalo Bisons.[1][2] He replaced Buffalo's regular second baseman Hardy Richardson in late September 1885 when Buffalo sold its "Big Four" infield to the Detroit Wolverines.[1] In two major-league games, Ritter had one hit in six at bats and struck out twice.[3][4] He played 17 innings at second base with eight putouts, five assists, three errors, and one double play in 16 chances.[3]
After his professional baseball career, Ritter worked as a payroll teller for the Manufacturers & Traders Trust Co. from 1916 to 1932. He then went into the automobile business, as the owner and operator of Westcott Motors Inc. He moved to Florida in 1954.[5] Ritter died in 1958 in Fort Myers, Florida.[1][5] He was the final surviving member of the Buffalo Bisons.[1]
