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.

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]
