'''Charles Dewey''' "'''Lefty'''" '''Jamerson''' (January 26, 1900 – August 4, 1980) was a [[relief pitcher]] in [[Major League Baseball]]. Listed at 6' 1", 195&nbsp;lb., he batted and threw [[left-handed]].

A native of [[Enfield, Illinois]], Jamerson was a player whose major league career, statistically speaking, was only slightly different from that of [[Red Bluhm]], [[Eddie Gaedel]], or [[Moonlight Graham]]. On August 16, 1924, Jamerson pitched for the [[Boston Red Sox]] against the [[St. Louis Browns]] at [[Fenway Park]]. In one inning of work, he allowed two runs on one hit and three [[base on balls|walks]] for an 18.00 [[earned run average]]. He did not have a decision. After that, he never appeared in a major league game again. He then played for the [[Pittsfield Hillies]] of the [[Eastern League (1916)|Eastern League]] from 1925 to 1927 and the [[Hartford Senators]] of the Eastern League in 1926. He also played for the [[Hartford Blues]] of the [[National Football League]] in 1926.

After his playing career ended, he served as the head football coach at the [[University of Memphis]] in 1942 and at [[Davidson College]] from 1948 to 1949.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/coaches/charlie-jamerson-1.html|title=Charlie Jamerson|access-date=November 20, 2018}}</ref>

Jamerson died in [[Mocksville, North Carolina]], at the age of 80.
