The meat of Charlie Leibrandt’s career took place in Kansas City where he would win 10 or more games five years in a row (1984-89). 1985 would be far and away the best season of his career where he would finish fifth in Cy Young voting by going 17 and 9 and a 2.69 ERA, which was good enough for second in the AL. Most importantly, Leibrandt was a major factor in the Royals reaching and winning the 1985 World Series. He would record 76 Wins for Kansas City overall.
