Despite some tough luck in the postseason, lefty pitcher Charlie Leibrandt will forever be associated with the Kansas City Royals' first World Series championship in 1985, when they rallied from 3-1 series deficits to Toronto in the ALCS and intra-state rival St. Louis in the Fall Classic. One year prior to that glory, Liebrandt became a fixture in KC's rotation, compiling an 11-7 record with a 3.63 ERA, helping guide the Royals to the A.L. West title. Offered here is a magnificent powder-blue road jersey he wore that summer. It shows great wear and features a Wilson size 42 tag with sewn-in 84 year swatch. Even though the Royals were swept by the powerhouse '84 Tigers in the ALCS, Leibrandt threw a complete-game three-hitter only to lose, 1–0, on a fielder's choice in the second inning. The following season, Leibrandt came out of the bullpen to replace the injured Bret Saberhagen in Game 7 of the ALCS vs. Toronto and earned the win that sent the Royals to the World Series. In Game 6 against the Cards, Liebrandt pitched well and his Royals rallied late to win and force Game 7, which wound up being an 11-0 rout that sparked a champagne celebration.
