}} Thomas Jerome Dunbar (November 24, 1959 – March 16, 2011) was a professional baseball player who played as outfielder in Major League Baseball for three seasons with the Texas Rangers from 1983 until 1985. He was 6'2", 192 pounds, and he threw and batted left-handed. The college he chose to attend was Middle Georgia College. Dunbar was originally drafted by the Boston Red Sox in the 11th round, 286th overall, of the 1979 draft. Deciding not to sign that year, he was drafted by the Rangers in the 1st round, 25th overall, of the 1980 draft, after which he signed. Dunbar won the 1984 Texas League batting title and played a total of 91 major league games, making his debut on September 7, 1983, at the age of 23. He hit .231 with three home runs and 18 RBI, striking out 32 times and walking 23. In the field, he committed four errors for a .929 fielding percentage, below average for an outfielder. He played his final game on July 13, 1985, though continued to play in the minors until 1991. His most notable game was most likely Mike Witt's perfect game in the 1984 season finale. He went 0 for 3 including a strikeout leading off the bottom of the ninth. He could apparently hit the knuckleball however, going 3 for 7 lifetime against Phil Niekro, one of three Hall of Famers he would face in his career. Rollie Fingers and newly elected Bert Blyleven were the others. After retirement he worked in the Cincinnati Reds organization as a minor league coach and manager.[1] He died at the age of 51 on March 16, 2011, in Aiken, South Carolina, while recuperating from prostate cancer surgery.[2] Sources1. ^{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=RkEiAAAAIBAJ&sjid=M60FAAAAIBAJ&pg=2786,4608911&dq=tom-dunbar+baseball&hl=en|title=Whacky week for Tigers|last=Atkins|first=Harry|date=26 February 1995|work=Argus-Press|accessdate=12 November 2010}} 2. ^{{cite news|title=Ex-baseball player Dunbar dies in Aiken|url=http://chronicle.augusta.com/sports/baseball/2011-03-17/ex-baseball-player-dunbar-dies-aiken|accessdate=March 18, 2011|newspaper=The Augusta Chronicle|date=March 17, 2011}} External links{{Baseballstats|br=d/dunbato01|cube=Tom-Dunbar|brm=dunbar001tho}}, or Retrosheet, or Pura Pelota (Venezuelan Winter League), or [https://www.whatifsports.com/mlb-l/profile_player.asp?pid=3859 What If Sports]{{DEFAULTSORT:Dunbar, Tom}} 23 : 1959 births|2011 deaths|African-American baseball players|Asheville Tourists players|Baseball players from South Carolina|Buffalo Bisons (minor league) players|Deaths from cancer in South Carolina|Deaths from prostate cancer|Greenville Braves players|Major League Baseball outfielders|Memphis Chicks players|Middle Georgia Warriors baseball players|Minor league baseball managers|Navegantes del Magallanes players|Oklahoma City 89ers players|Omaha Royals players|People from Graniteville, South Carolina|Richmond Braves players|Rochester Red Wings players|Texas Rangers players|Tucson Toros players|Tulsa Drillers players|Vancouver Canadians players |
