Elmer Leifer

Elmer Leifer was a professional baseball player born in 1893, who played in the Major Leagues during a brief career from September 7 to September 26 in 1921. Primarily serving as a position player, Leifer appeared in a total of 9 games, in which he recorded 3 hits and drove in 1 run, finishing his short stint with a batting average of .300. Despite not hitting any home runs or stealing bases, his contributions during his time were part of the burgeoning post-World War I era of baseball, a period marked by the transition from the deadball era into a time that would soon see the rise of power hitting. Leifer's career, though limited in duration and impact, exemplified the challenges many players faced in the early 1920s, a time when the competition for roster spots was intense and the game was evolving rapidly. While he did not leave a lasting statistical legacy, his involvement in Major League Baseball during this transformative period contributes to the rich tapestry of the sport's history.
