Biography

Frank Thompson, born in 1854, was a professional baseball player whose career spanned the early days of the sport from 1875 until September 11, 1875. Playing primarily as a position player, Thompson made a modest impact during his brief time in Major League Baseball, appearing in 12 games. Over the course of his career, he recorded 6 hits, 4 runs batted in (RBIs), and maintained a batting average of .13. Although he did not hit any home runs or steal any bases, his contributions came during an era when the game was still evolving, and offensive statistics were often less pronounced than in later years. Thompson's time in the league reflected the transitional phase of baseball, as it was just a few years after the formation of the National League and before the establishment of many modern rules and statistics. His presence on the field, albeit brief, contributed to the rich tapestry of baseball's history, showcasing the diverse array of players who participated in the sport during its formative years. While Thompson may not have amassed impressive statistics, his involvement in the game during this pivotal period is a testament to the enduring legacy of early baseball players.
