Pop Snyder, who played for 15 years in the major leagues, witnessed the game's evolution from gentleman's club sport to the acrimonious Players League rebellion. He played on the Red Stockings' 1878 pennant-winning team and he managed them to a pennant in the first AA season (1891). Pop Snyder holds the dubious distinction of having the Most Career Passed Balls in the 19th Century (647) which he accumulated in 744 games caught. Pop Snyder ranks 31st all-time (19th Century) in Catcher Fielding Average with .904; he ranks 5th all-time (19th C.) in Catcher Putouts with 3676. Snyder's Managerial Record was 163-122 for a .572 winning percentage.
[From the New York Clipper August 9, 1879.]
Charles N. Snyder claims Washington, D.C., as his birthplace, and, although but a young player, both in years and practice,
he has for several seasons had the reputation of being the best in his position in the country. He first played with the
Creighton Club - an amateur organization of his native city - in 1872, and his splendid catching and throwing soon
attracted the attention of the veteran manager Nick Young, who secured him for the Washingtons, with which club his
debut into the professional arena was made during the season of 1873. The Baltimores next secured the services of this
promising young player, and he caught for them in 1874. The following year several clubs were anxious to engage him,
but, the Philadelphias out-bidding the others, Snyder was found in their ranks during the season of 1875. He next
joined the Louisvilles, and much of the success that club obtained during 1876 and 1877 may be attributed to his
superb catching. When Jim White seceded from the champion Bostons, Snyder was at once engaged by Harry Wright as his
successor; and we can pay him no more fitting compliment than to say that since the commencement of the season of 1878
he has most creditably filled the vacancy. Snyder has never played any other position than catcher, in which his record
during the last five seasons has been an extraordinarily successful and brilliant one, his playing at all times being
sure and reliable. Snyder's activity, coolness under all circumstances, plucky play, and last, but by no means least,
his swift and accurate throwing are features of his catching worthy of more than passing remark. As he is always
good-humored and modest, we hope to have the pleasure of seeing his bright, genial countenance on the ball-field for
many seasons to come.
