Charles Albert "Bert" Weeden (December 21, 1882 – January 7, 1939) was an American professional baseball player.
Weeden was a catcher during his long minor-league career, which spanned 1902 to 1923.[1] He also had several jobs as a manager,[2] and he continued to manage as late as 1936 at the amateur level.[3]
Weeden played in one major-league game, with the 1911 Boston Rustlers as a pinch hitter.[4] His lone major-league at bat came on June 4, 1911, in a road game against the Cincinnati Reds—he failed to register a hit against reliever Barney Schreiber in a game that the Reds won, 26–3.[5]
Weeden was born in 1882 in Northwood, New Hampshire;[4] he died in his hometown in 1939 of a heart attack.[3] His obituary noted that he served in the American Expeditionary Forces during World War I.[3]
