Charles Brittingham Burns (May 15, 1879, in Bayview, Maryland – June 6, 1968, in Havre De Grace, Maryland) played one game in Major League Baseball for the 1902 Baltimore Orioles. In his one at-bat, he hit a single. He batted and threw right-handed. He was brought in for a tryout after playing baseball in Hagerstown, Maryland, and had his one appearance on August 19 as a result, a pinch-hit single in the ninth inning.[1]
He is notable as one of a very few major league players with one at-bat and a perfect 1.000 batting average.
Burns died on June 6, 1968. He was buried at Angel Hill Cemetery in Havre de Grace.[2]
