Charles Preston Cruthers (September 8, 1890 – December 27, 1976) was a second baseman in Major League Baseball who played from 1913 through 1914 for the Philadelphia Athletics.
As a backup for regular Eddie Collins, he posted a .222 batting average in seven games (6-for-27), including one double and one triple while scoring a run.
[2][3] In six Minor league seasons (1913–1918), Cruthers was a .268 hitter with six home runs in 648 games.
He also managed the Kenosha Comets of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League during the 1946 season.
[4][5] Cruthers is part of the AAGPBL permanent display at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum at Cooperstown, New York, opened in 1988, which is dedicated to the entire league rather than any individual figure.
