He is the drummer of popular New York punk band 5 Cent Deposit. (http://www.5centdeposit.com) A featured act on previous Warp Tours, 5 Cent Deposit is a favorite act in Germany and has had several successful European tours. Some even believe that 5 Cent Deposit is more popular in Germany than David Hasselhof!

In 1996, Lieber discovered the profitable world of adult entertainment on the internet. Lacking a strong work ethic he quickly retired once he had made enough money to not work for several years. He purchased his dream house which he later flipped for a smaller condo. When his band went on an extended tour Jon Lieber sold the condo and is now living in a small log cabin in rural Pennsylvania next to a deer processing plant. He is currently dating an 18 year old who is still in high school.

Lieber returned to the work force in 2007, becoming a soldier in the organization of advantage gamblers headed by Jim Morrison and the mysterious Valhalla. Other known soldiers include Bang Bang Kaiser, Z Dawg and Gay Lance.

-'''Jonathan Ray Lieber''' (born [[April 2]], [[1970]] in [[Council Bluffs, Iowa]]) is a [[starting pitcher]] in [[Major League Baseball]] who plays for the Philadelphia Phillies (since 2005). Previously, Lieber played with the Pittsburgh Pirates (1994-98), Chicago Cubs (1999-2002) and New York Yankees (2004). He bats left-handed and throws right-handed.  He was drafted out of the [[University of South Alabama]].
+He is the drummer of popular New York punk band 5 Cent Deposit. (http://www.5centdeposit.com)  A featured act on previous Warp Tours, 5 Cent Deposit is a favorite act in Germany and has had several successful European tours.  Some even believe that 5 Cent Deposit is more popular in Germany than David Hasselhof!
-In an 11-season career, Lieber has compiled a 117-104 record with 1372 [[strikeout]]s and a 4.20 [[earned run average|ERA]] in 1905 [[innings pitched]].
+In 1996, Lieber discovered the profitable world of adult entertainment on the internet.  Lacking a strong work ethic he quickly retired once he had made enough money to not work for several years.  He purchased his dream house which he later flipped for a smaller condo.  When his band went on an extended tour Jon Lieber sold the condo and is now living in a small log cabin in rural Pennsylvania next to a deer processing plant.  He is currently dating an 18 year old who is still in high school.
-Lieber uses  a tough [[slider]] and an effective [[changeup]] to go with his low 90s [[fastball]]. He led the [[National League]] in [[shutout]]s for three consecutive years (1999-2001). His most productive season came in [[2001 in baseball|2001]], when he led the league in [[games started]] (35) and innings (251), posted a career-high 20 victories, was selected an [[Major League Baseball All-Star Game|All-Star]], and finished 4th in the [[Cy Young Award]] vote. In the same year, he one-hit the [[Cincinnati Reds]], 3-0, ending the team's NL-record streak of 208 games in a row without being shutout. He missed the entire [[2003 in baseball|2003]] season after undergoing [[Tommy John surgery]] in 2002.  Lieber signed a two year rehabilitation contract with the Yankees following the 2002 season.  After recovering from the surgery, Lieber rewarded the Yankees' investment in 2004 by winning 14 games (tied for the team lead) and becoming the team's most consistent pitcher down the stretch.
+Lieber returned to the work force in 2007, becoming a soldier in the organization of advantage gamblers headed by Jim Morrison and the mysterious Valhalla.  Other known soldiers include Bang Bang Kaiser, Z Dawg and Gay Lance.
-Before the 2005 season, Lieber signed as a [[free agent]] with the Phillies. In 2005, Lieber led the team with 17 wins.
-He is known as one of the worst fielders ever at his position. He is known to throw the ball straight into the ground, and making abysmal throws to bases.
-Jon Lieber's Phillies career has most likely ended with season-ending ankle surgery in 2007.
