Career highlights and awards

Thomas Raymond Quinlan (born March 27, 1968 in Saint Paul, Minnesota) is a 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. While he did express some interest in playing hockey professionally, Quinlan ultimately focused on baseball.[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 scheduled to begin playing in the Northwoods League with the 2021 baseball season.[3][4]
