Charles Albert Deal (October 30, 1891 in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania - September 16, 1979 in Covina, California), was a professional baseball player who played third base in the Major Leagues from 1912-1921. He would play for the Chicago Cubs, Boston Braves, St. Louis Browns, St. Louis Terriers, and Detroit Tigers.

In 1914, Deal was a member of the Braves team that went from last place to first place in two months, becoming the first team to win a pennant after being in last place on the Fourth of July.^[2] The team then went on to defeat Connie Mack's heavily-favored Philadelphia Athletics in the 1914 World Series.

In 1917 Deal led the National League in sacrifice hits with 29. He also proved to be very reliable defensively, leading National League third baseman in fielding three years in a row (1919-1921). ^[3]
