Charles Hodes (c. 1848 – February 14, 1875) was an American professional baseball player who played as a catcher, infielder, and outfielder in the National Association for three seasons from 1871 to 1874.

[5][6] Though Hodes was Chicago's main catcher during the season, manager Jimmy Wood also used him as a third baseman, shortstop, and outfielder.

[2] The White Stockings' season was interrupted on October 8, when the Great Chicago Fire consumed their ballpark, uniforms, and equipment.

Other teams loaned them supplies to finish the year, and they played the rest of their regularly scheduled games on the road.

[7] Despite these challenges, the White Stockings remained in contention for the league title until the final day of the season (October 30), when they faced the Philadelphia Athletics in a game that would determine the champion.

The catcher only appeared in 13 of the team's 25 games, but he continued to demonstrate his versatility by playing third base, shortstop, and outfield.

Two brief items in the Chicago Evening Post, published in April and May 1873, state that he had been named the captain of the post-office clerks' baseball club.

After that game, manager Bob Ferguson decided his player needed rest and gave him the remainder of the season off.

His three-season totals in the NA included a .231 batting average, 57 runs scored, 63 hits, and 42 RBI in 62 games.
