Dutch Schliebner

Frederick Paul "Dutch" Schliebner (May 19, 1891 – April 15, 1975) was a German-born American professional baseball first baseman. He played for one season in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Brooklyn Robins and St. Louis Browns.

Career Schliebner was born in Berlin, Germany, in 1891.

In 1922, Schliebner went to the Southern Association's Little Rock Travelers and batted a career-high .354. The following season, Schliebner made it to the major leagues with the Brooklyn Robins. He played 19 games for them in April and May before being traded to the St. Louis Browns, in exchange for Dutch Henry and cash. The Browns' Hall of Fame first baseman, George Sisler, was out the entire season with sinusitis which affected his vision, and Schliebner was his replacement. He batted .275 in his next 127 games.

Sisler returned to the team in 1924, and Schliebner returned to the minors. He played five more seasons in the American Association and Texas League before his professional baseball career ended in 1928. In 15 minor league seasons, he batted .286 and accumulated 2,053 hits.

Schliebner died in Toledo, Ohio, in 1975 and was buried in Toledo Memorial Park Cemetery.
