Charles Malcolm Moss (April 18, 1905 – February 6, 1983) was an American professional athlete and attorney.

He attended Vanderbilt University, graduating in 1927, and earned a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Chicago in 1930.

Moss'

runs batted in. But because he failed to complete five full innings as the starter, he was not eligible for the victory; the official scorer awarded the win to reliever Bob Osborn, who shut out the Bucs the rest of the way.^[2]

In his 12 MLB games, Moss allowed 18 hits, 14 bases on balls, and 13 earned runs in 182⁄3 innings pitched, notching four strikeouts and posting a 6.27 career earned run average. He batted .273 in 11 at bats, with three singles and two career RBI.
