Leon Carlson

Leon Carlson, born in 1895, was a professional baseball player whose career spanned a brief but notable period in the early 20th century. He played as a position player during a time when Major League Baseball was still solidifying its modern structure, just a few years after the end of the deadball era. Carlson's career in the majors was short-lived; he appeared in only three games from May 31, 1920, to June 15, 1920. Throughout his limited career, Carlson recorded a total of one hit, resulting in a batting average of .167. Although he did not achieve any home runs or RBIs, his presence in the league during this transformative time in baseball history marks him as a part of the early post-deadball era, which was beginning to see shifts toward more dynamic offensive play. While his statistics may not reflect a long-standing impact on the game, Carlson's brief tenure serves as a reminder of the countless players who contributed to the rich tapestry of baseball during its formative years.
