Charles M. Eden (January 18, 1855 – September 17, 1920) was an outfielder in Major League Baseball. He played over parts of four seasons (1877, 1879, 1884–1885) for the Chicago White Stockings, Cleveland Blues, and Pittsburgh Alleghenys.[1]
Eden announced his retirement from professional baseball following the 1885 season to work as a freight conductor for the Big Four railroad.[2] He married Lydia G. Chambers in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania later that year.[3]
