Mike Lieberthal
Catcher
TEAM: Philadelphia Phillies, Los Angeles Dodgers
Born: Jan. 18, 1972
Lieberthal was a Phillies’ first-round pick who lived up to his potential.

He was behind the plate when Kevin Millwood pitched a no-hitter in 2003. His 150 home runs were the most by a catcher in Phillies team history. He finished his 14-year career by catching 34 games for the Dodgers in 2007.
