Biography
Horace Leverette was a professional baseball player born in 1889, who played in the major leagues for a brief period during the early 20th century. His career spanned from April 22, 1920, to May 8, 1920, during a time when baseball was evolving from the deadball era into a more dynamic offensive game. Leverette appeared in three games as a position player but did not record a hit, home run, or any runs batted in, finishing his career with a batting average of 0.0 and no stolen bases.
Despite the limited scope of his playing time, Leverette's involvement in Major League Baseball reflects the challenges many players faced during this transitional period. The early 1920s were marked by changes in gameplay and strategy that would lay the foundation for the modern game, yet Leverette's brief tenure serves as a reminder of the myriad players who contributed to the rich tapestry of baseball history, even if their personal statistics do not stand out.
