Frank Lane "Pete" Charton (born December 21, 1942) is a former American Major League Baseball pitcher. He batted left-handed and threw right-handed.
Charton was signed in 1963 by the Boston Red Sox as a free agent out of the Baylor University. He spent the entire 1964 season on Boston's Major League roster to prevent him from being claimed by another team in the first-year player draft of the time. In a 25-game MLB career, Charton posted a 0–2 record with 37 strikeouts and a 5.26 ERA in 65.0 innings pitched, including five starts and 14 games finished.
After baseball, he finished college, ultimately receiving his PhD in geology from Michigan State University. He taught for a couple of years at the University of Illinois before moving on to Roane State Community College in Harriman, Tennessee, where he taught for 35 years[1] and had an endowment scholarship named in his honor.[2] He is also the author of the Christian devotional, "Off to College with King Solomon: A Devotional Handbook for Beginning College Students".
