Default 1933 Goudey #169: Tommy Thomas

I don't have any copyright stamps, but there are plenty of Washington players in the set:

Alphonse "Tommy" Thomas. Pitcher for the Washington Senators in 1932-1935. 117 wins and 13 saves in 12 MLB seasons. He debuted with the Chicago White Sox in 1926-1932. His best season was 1927 with Chicago as he posted a 19-16 record with a 2.98 ERA in 307.2 innings pitched. He finished his career with the Boston Red Sox in 1937.

Thomas didn't get to the major leagues until 1926, his age-26 season. Over the next six seasons he averaged 250 innings pitched for the White Sox. Before that he starred for Baltimore in the International League. Thomas' SABR biography sums it up:

Baltimore native Tommy Thomas signed his first professional baseball contract while still in high school and later became a standout pitcher on one of the greatest minor league teams of all time. . . .

. . . Thomas won 105 games while losing only 54 during his five years with Baltimore. He appeared in the Little World Series with Baltimore four times, going 4-4 in post-season play. Thomas’ lifetime pitching record in the International League was a stellar 138 wins, 85 losses and a 3.30 earned run average.
