Topic: Charlie Leibrandt


In the News (Tue 2 Dec 08)

  
  Charlie Leibrandt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charlie Leibrandt was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in the ninth round of the 1978 free agent draft.
Leibrandt was generally regarded as a fourth starter on the Braves in 1991 and 1992.
Leibrandt got the start by virtue of his long post-season rest and the fact he was the only Braves starter who had ever pitched in the Metrodome.

 LP - Leibrandt - Braves Journal
Charlie Leibrandt was a principal in one of the best trades John Schuerholz ever made, and in one of the worst; the latter was also maybe the second-best trade Bobby Cox made after the Smoltz-Alexander deal.
Leibrandt had pitched the first game of the series, poorly, and not been seen since.
That was Leibrandt’s best pitch and at that time he was one of the few who was using it.

 No. 42: Charlie Leibrandt - Braves Journal
I’ve written about Charlie at length before, but at the risk of repeating myself… Leibrandt was a rare hometown (or at least homestate) boy who got away from the Reds; after drafting him out of Miami University, they traded him to the Royals, where he won 76 games in six years.
Charlie’s tenure with the club is probably the shortest of any player on the list, three years.
Leibrandt, as the team’s one veteran starter, was a steadying influence on a very young staff; I think his role as a mentor to Glavine and Avery is unappreciated.

Powerful case for Maz
Puckett's 11th-inning home run off Atlanta's Charlie Leibrandt gave the Twins a 4-3 victory in Game 6 of the 1991 Series, forcing a Game 7.
His Game 7, ninth-inning, 1960 Series-winning home run off Ralph Terry (Charlie Leibrandt was only 4 years old at the time) is one of only two Series-ending homers in the history of the event; the other, by Toronto's Joe Carter in 1993, came in a Game 6, not a Game 7.
Mazeroski was likely the best-fielding second baseman in the game's history, with eight Gold Gloves, a record nine seasons leading his league in assists, and a record eight years (all in succession) leading in double plays.
