Tommy O'Brien

Tommy O'Brien

Thomas Edward O'Brien (December 19, 1918 - November 5, 1978) was a outfielder/third baseman in Major League Baseball, playing mainly as a right fielder for three different teams between the by|1943 and by|1950 seasons. Listed at 5' 11", 195 lb. O'Brien batted and threw right-handed. He was born in Anniston, Alabama.

Basically a line-drive hitter and a good fielding replacement, O'Brien entered the majors in 1943 with the Pittsburgh Pirates, playing for them three years before joining the Boston Red Sox (1949-1950) and Washington Senators (1950). His most productive season came in his rookie year, when he posted career-highs in batting average (.310), runs (35), extrabases (21), RBI (26) and games played (89).

In a five-season career, O'Brien was a .277 hitter (198-for-714) with eight home runs and 78 RBI in 293 games, including 110 runs, 30 doubles, 14 triples, two stolen bases, and a .344 on-base percentage.

O'Brien died in his homeland of Anniston, Alabama, at the age of 59.
