Charles Wesley Bennett was an American professional baseball player from 1875 or 1876 through the 1893 season. He played 15 years in Major League Baseball, principally as a catcher, with the Milwaukee Grays, Worcester Ruby Legs, Detroit Wolverines and Boston Beaneaters. He played on four pennant-winning teams, one in Detroit and three in Boston, and is one of only two players to play with the Detroit Wolverines during all eight seasons of the club's existence.

Bennett caught the first perfect game in MLB history, thrown by Lee Richmond (pictured) in 1880.
John Clarkson, who won 49 games in 1889, was traveling with Bennett when his legs were crushed.
