[edit] Biographical Information
Brother of George Tebeau and Pussy Tebeau, Patsy Tebeau played thirteen years in the major leagues and managed twelve. As player-manager, he took his pennant-winning 1892 Cleveland Spiders to post-season play.
He started out in the majors as a third baseman, but became a first baseman in mid-career and eventually played more games at first than at third. He also played some second and shortstop toward the end of his major league career.
Tebeau was playing in the minors as early as 1886. He was born and died in St. Louis, MO, and while most of his major league career was spent with Cleveland, he finished up with St. Louis.
