Thomas Raymond Quinlan (born March 27, 1968) is an American former third baseman in Major League Baseball. Quinlan spent parts of four seasons in the major leagues with the Toronto Blue Jays, Philadelphia Phillies and Minnesota Twins. He is the older brother of Robb Quinlan, also a former Major League Baseball player.
Quinlan was a two-sport star in high school. He was also drafted by the National Hockey League's Calgary Flames in the 4th round, 79th overall in the 1986 NHL Entry Draft. Quinlan had committed to play both college baseball and college hockey for the Minnesota Golden Gophers and had enrolled at the school and started practicing with both teams before ultimately signing with the Blue Jays before classes began.[1] Quinlan became the first foreign-born Korean Series MVP when he led the Hyundai Unicorns to their Korean Series championship in 2000.[2]
Tom and Robb Quinlan are part of the ownership group for the St. Croix River Hounds, a collegiate summer baseball team intended to play in the Northwoods League though they are not on the 2023 schedule.[3][4][5]
