Charles Solomon "Buddy" Myer (March 16, 1904 – October 31, 1974) was an American professional baseball player.
Apart from a brief period with the Boston Red Sox in 1927–28, he spent his entire career with the Washington Senators.
In December 1928 the Red Sox traded him to the Senators for Milt Gaston, Hod Lisenbee, Bobby Reeves, Grant Gillis, and Elliot Bigelow.
He had 215 hits (2nd in the league), a .440 on-base percentage and 96 walks (4th), played in 151 games (5th), scored 115 runs (7th), and had 100 RBIs.
In 1933, Myer was involved in what many still consider to be baseball's most violent brawl, between him and the Yankees' Ben Chapman.
In 1938 he had another outstanding season, finishing 4th in the league with a .336 batting average, 2nd in OBP with .454 , and 7th in walks with 93.
Baseball historian Bill James reported that Myer "told a home-town newspaperman shortly before his death in 1974 that he was not Jewish, he was German", .
Despite not identifying as Jewish, Myer "never set the record straight" during his career, even starting an altercation with Yankees outfielder Ben Chapman after Chapman attempted to spike him and called him a Jewish slur.
