Kenneth Henry Landenberger (July 29, 1928 – July 28, 1960) was an American
minor league baseball and managed in the minors for three full seasons and part of a fourth. In his only Major League Baseball service, he appeared in two games as a first baseman and pinch hitter over a nine-day period for the 1952 Chicago White Sox, batted five times, and had one single — off Dick Littlefield of the St. Louis Browns in his final MLB plate appearance.[1]
Listed as 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m) tall and 200 lb (91 kg), Landenberger batted and threw
home runs.[3]
But after his 1952 trial, he never returned to the Majors.
Landenberger became a minor league manager in 1957 and joined the
cerebral hemorrhage[4]
and the effects of leukemia.
