Biographical Information

Ted Lepcio was once unfairly described in 1960 by his Philadelphia Phillies manager Eddie Sawyer as "...the worst Major League player I've ever seen". Lepcio nonetheless enjoyed a ten-year major league career and, although his career numbers were by no means extraordinary, they were far from being the worst.
