Leon Roberts is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on January 22, 1951 in Vicksburg, Michigan, United States.

At 6’3″ 200 pounds., Roberts batted and threw right handed.
After the conclusion of his career, it was found out that Roberts was suffering from poor eyesight because of an accident he had as in his early years. “I have real bad eyes,” Roberts declared, “I stabbed my eye with a knife while I was a young child. I was playing around with my knife called a jackknife. I kept it in the dark because I wanted to become an athlete. I had a poor focus within my right eye, and poor visual depth in my left however, I kept it a secret to ensure that I didn’t get released. I didn’t tell anyone that I had poor perception in my left eye. Not an administrator and certainly not a fellow teammate or anyone else. If we were having our physicals during spring training, there was a long lineof people waiting, as a cattle call. I would sneak up to go over the lines they asked us to read and then memorize it. After I was up there I’d recite the line I had memorized. It was never figured out. I always tried to insist on focusing on studying the ball and following that ball.”
On 5 February 1983, Roberts had been traded by Blue Jays to the Royals for a young Cecil fielder. Roberts also pitched one innings in Kansas City in 1984, pitching three runs earned. The last game he played on September 30 in 1984.
