Baseball Almanac is pleased to present a list of EVERY Major League player with a last name that starts with an 'L' on our site whose player page includes an autographed baseball card. Included on the chart are links to the players biography, the years he played, and a (HOF) Hall of Fame mark (Y=Yes). Bold entries stand for active players which are defined as those who played in at least one Major League game during the most recently completed season.
"The stocky (Chet) Laabs was a wartime hero for the St. Louis Browns when they won their only pennant in 1944. Used sparingly all season, he had only three home runs before he hit two against the Yankees on the season's last day to win the pennant-clinching game." - Author Jack Kavanagh on BaseballLibrary.com
The player with the earliest debut date on the chart above is Freddy Leach, who made his major league debut on May 24, 1923!
