#149 Gary Neibauer

Little known, marginal pitcher on the Braves’ staff….most prolific season was rookie year 1969….57 innings winning one losing two…kept on the post season roster and pitched a scoreless inning....best effort was his 21 innings in 1971 registering a 2.14 ERA.....Only full season at MLB level was 1972 but hit hard....traded to Philadelphia mid season....combined ERA of 6.25 made the effort dubious at best...reappeared in the bigs up to 1973 by returning to Braves....post playing days has made a name for himself in baseball circles as a champion for greater baseball pension benefits with the players association....in one sense, an very import individual for all players who appeared on the MLB level....one of the few major leagues to have been born in Montana.
