Pussy Tebeau
Edit ProfileCareer
Tebeau batted and threw right-handed. Some report that he is the younger brother of George and Patsy Tebeau who also played in the major leagues, but that is unlikely. The actual brothers grew up in Saint Louis while Charles was Massachusetts born and bred.
Tebeau"s major league career only lasted two games in July 1895 because he had already signed with the Portland club but failed to report.
The Cleveland Spiders picked up and used Tebeau without knowledge of this. Portland"s manager Frank Leonard saw his name in the newspaper (referred to as California Tebeau) with Cleveland and filed a complaint.
Before signing with Portland, Tebeau played for Lowell in the New England Association. In a two-game career, Tebeau was a.500 hitter (3-for-6) with three runs, one Reserve Bank of India, and one stolen base without home runs.
Tebeau died in Pittsfield, Massachusetts at the age of 80.
