[edit] Biography

Tommy Harper (Tommy Harper) was born on October 14, 1940 in Oak Grove, Louisiana. He made his Major League debut on April 9, 1962 for the Cincinnati Reds. In 1963, his rookie year, he hit .260 with 10 home runs and 37 RBI. Harper played for the Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Indians, Seattle Pilots, Milwaukee Brewers, Boston Red Sox, Oakland Athletics, California Angels and Baltimore Orioles over the course of his 15 year career.

There is some disagreement on what was Tommy Harper's most productive season. Some believe that it was 1970, when he slugged 31 home runs, stole 38 bases, hit for a .296 average and knocked in 82 runs. However, others believe that it was 1969, when he stole 73 bases.
