Last week’s post featured Bill McNulty, who was listed as the fifth-ranked minor league hitter in Milwaukee Brewers history. This week’s submission honors his teammate in Sacramento in 1974, and long-time Brewer star, Gorman Thomas.
The seasons were somewhat similar (both had over 50 home runs and more than 120 RBI), but Thomas gets ranked higher due to the fact he was younger than league average, where McNulty was two years older.
‘Stormin’ Gorman’ was selected by the Seattle Pilots in the first round (21st overall) of the 1969 MLB June Amateur Draft out of James Island HS in Charleston, SC.
