Thomas Brandon Sullivan (December 19, 1906 – August 16, 1944) was a professional baseball catcher. He played in one game for the 1925 Cincinnati RedsofMajor League Baseball (MLB). Listed at 6 feet 0 inches (1.83 m) and 190 pounds (86 kg), he batted and threw right-handed. Sullivan was the first person born in Alaska to play in MLB.[1][a]

Biography[edit]

Baseball records list Sullivan's one game with the Cincinnati Reds in 1925, and 55 games with the minor league Seattle Indians of the Pacific Coast League in 1928.[2]

Sullivan's one major league appearance came on June 14, 1925, with the Reds hosting the Brooklyn Robins at Redland Field (later renamed Crosley Field).[3] Sullivan played defensively at catcher for the final three innings, allowing one passed ball from pitcher Neal Brady.[3] Sullivan had one plate appearance; facing Brooklyn's Dazzy Vance with one out in the ninth inning, he grounded out, shortstop to first.[3] The Cincinnati Enquirer noted that it was Sullivan's first professional game, referring to him as "the big college boy from Seattle".[4] He was released by the Reds on June 29.[5]

Sullivan attended the University of Washington prior to playing professional baseball.[6]
