FameRank: 5

"Charles Wesley Jones" was an United States/American left fielder in the National Association of Professional Baseball Players/National Association and Major League Baseball who hit 56 home runs and batting average/batted .298 during his twelve-year career. Born in Alamance County, North Carolina, he played for several teams: the Keokuk Westerns, Hartford Dark Blues, Cincinnati Reds (1876-1880)/Cincinnati Reds (NL), Chicago Cubs/Chicago White Stockings, Atlanta Braves/Boston Red Caps, Cincinnati Reds/Cincinnati Red Stockings (AA), New York Metropolitans, and Kansas City Cowboys (American Association)/Kansas City Cowboys. A popular but controversial player, despite his hitting ability he never played for a league champion.

His best period was from 1883 to 1885, when he hit 22 home runs, had 186 run batted in/RBI, and batted .310. Through the first nine seasons of the major leagues' existence, Jones held the career record for home runs, despite missing two of those seasons (1881–82) as a result of being blackballed from the sport. In 1887, he dropped to 4th place. By 1889, he was just tenth, and by 1890 he was no longer among the top ten.
