Anthony "Keith" Weber (April 27, 1942 – February 18, 2011) was a quarterback and pitcher for the University of Missouri, most notable for holding the NCAA record for career earned run average with a career ERA of 0.56.[1][2]

As a junior, Weber helped lead Missouri to the 1963 College World Series, where they were eliminated by eventual champion Southern California. In 1964, Weber earned First-team All-American honors while anchoring a Missouri pitching staff that still holds the NCAA record for lowest single-season team ERA, surrendering just 19 earned runs in 264 innings for an ERA of 0.65.[1][3] Weber and Missouri again reached the College World Series, falling to Minnesota in the championship game.

In his two trips to the College World Series, Weber pitched 24 1/3 innings while giving up zero earned runs, which remains the most innings pitched by anyone in the College World Series without giving up an earned run.[4]

Upon his graduation from Missouri, Weber pitched for the United States at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.[2] Weber then played a single season of minor league baseball in 1965 with the Williamsport Mets[5] before returning to Missouri to attend law school while working as an assistant football coach under Dan Devine.[2]

After a career in real estate, Weber died of kidney cancer on February 18, 2011.[2]
