Professional career
Thomas was originally drafted by the Washington Senators in the 27th round of the 1971 Major League Baseball Draft. The next season, the Senators became the Texas Rangers, and Thomas made his major league debut in 1974 for that team. After two seasons in Texas and one with the Cleveland Indians, Thomas was chosen in the 1976 MLB expansion draft by the Seattle Mariners.[2] He split the 1977 season between the Mariners and the New York Yankees to end his major league career.
