Ken Landenberger

Ken Landenberger was a professional baseball player born in 1928, who played as a position player during a brief career in Major League Baseball. He made his debut on September 20, 1952, and concluded his playing days just over a week later on September 28, 1952. His time in the major leagues was fleeting, with Landenberger appearing in only 2 games. Throughout his short stint in the MLB, Landenberger recorded 1 hit in 5 at-bats, resulting in a batting average of 0.2. While he did not hit any home runs or drive in any runs, his involvement in the big leagues during the early 1950s placed him in an era characterized by a transition in baseball, moving from the post-war years into a period that would soon see the rise of more dynamic offensive play. Despite the brevity of his career, Landenberger's association with the game during this time reflects the stories of many players who contributed to baseball's rich tapestry, even if only for a moment.
