Charles Dana Dexter (June 15, 1876 – June 9, 1934) was a Major League Baseball outfielder from 1896 to 1903.
Professional career
Dexter's career in baseball began in 1889 with the Evansville Cooks, a semiprofessional ball club. He remained with them until 1894 when he made the decision to attend the University of the South. He also played for the Louisville Colonels, Boston Braves, and Chicago Cubs organizations.
Iroquois Theatre fire
On December 30, 1903, Charlie Dexter and fellow player John Franklin Houseman were in a box watching a show at the Iroquois Theatre in Chicago when the Iroquois Theatre fire broke out; they were credited with breaking down a locked door and rescuing a number of people.
The stabbing of Quait Bateman
In 1905, he reportedly stabbed Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Quait Bateman in the chest while he was drunk. Dexter was taken to jail. Bateman decided to not press charges as he believed it was an accident and Dexter was released the next morning.

In 1934, Dexter shot himself to death in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
