Charlie Leibrandt Biography

Charlie Leibrandt is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on October 4, 1956 in Chicago, Illinois, United States. Charles Louis Leibrandt, Jr. (“‘ l I: b r the n T /; born on October 4 1956) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher who played from 1979 until 1993 with the Cincinnati Reds, Kansas City Royals, Atlanta Braves, and Texas Rangers. Leibrandt was a consistent pitcher for 14 years and was a part in the team that won 1985 World Series champion Royals team.

For all his accomplishments as a pitcher Leibrandt is most well-known for a string of post-season mishaps and having to suffer hard luck. When he was in 1984, Leibrandt as well as the Royals were eliminated in the best-of-five American League Championship Series against the Detroit Tigers. Leibrandt pitched a complete game three-hitter but fell, by 1-0, due to an error by a fielder in the second innings.

On May 16, 1987, Leibrandt pitched a complete game one-hitter against the Milwaukee Brewers. The only hit for the Brewers was a bunt hit by backup Brewers catcher Bill Schroeder. Schroeder would go on to become the TV color commentator for the Brewers.

Leibrandt again had the opportunity to play in the World Series with the Braves the following year. The Braves lost that series also, this time to the Toronto Blue Jays in six games. In the final game, in circumstances eerily similar to Game 6 of the prior year’s Series, Leibrandt was called in as a reliever in an extra-inning game. Just as in 1991, Cox was criticized for using Leibrandt as a reliever with closer Jeff Reardon and relievers Marvin Freeman and David Nied still available. Toronto rallied for two runs in the top of the 11th on a hit by Dave Winfield. The Braves did manage to get one of those runs back in the bottom of the 11th; however, it was not enough and Leibrandt ended up as the losing pitcher.

In the year 1980, Leibrandt made his first major league debut in the fourth game in the regular season. the Reds defeated the Atlanta Braves, 5-0, and Leibrandt was able to throw five shutout innings for his first major league win. However, Leibrandt was 10-9.8 in the year 1980, showed no signs of improvement at the time in Cincinnati and was transferred for the Kansas City Royals for Bob Tufts on July 7th the 7th of June, 1983. The next one, Leibrandt went 11-7 with an 3.63 ERA as the Royals were victorious in their first Western Division championship.
