The Charleroi Cherios, as referred to as the Charleroi Cherubs, were a professional baseball team that played in the Pennsylvania–West Virginia League in 1908. Based in Charleroi, Pennsylvania, USA. The team can be traced to an un-nicknamed team that played in the Pennsylvania–Ohio–Maryland League in 1906 and 1907. During the 1909 season, Charleroi posted a 13-25. However, on June 30, 1909 the club moved to Parkersburg, West Virginia to become the Parkersburg Parkers. then was dropped July 10, after Clarksburg disbanded. In 1914 a team based in Charleroi played in the revived Pennsylvania–West Virginia League, however it did not have a nickname, either.[1] On May 26, 1914, both Charleroi and the McKeesport Royals disbanded. The league then folded soon afterwards on June 1, 1914.[2]
Baseball pitcher Bert Humphries, who played in the major leagues from 1910 to 1915, played for the unnamed Charleroi team in 1907 and the Cherios in 1908. He posted a won-loss record of 13-15 in the latter season.[3]
