In June 1887, Thomas was named manager for the Indianapolis Hoosiers of the National League.[1] Thomas, who had front office duties with the team, took over from Watch Burnham after the team got off to a 6–22 start.[2] Thomas had a managerial record of 11–18, before he was replaced by Horace Fogel in July.[3] Accruing a record of 20–49 under Fogel, the 1887 Indianapolis Hoosiers finished the season at 37–89.[4]
Little is known about Thomas; research suggests he may be Frederick Lucius Thomas, who was born in Indianapolis on July 31, 1855, and died in Los Angeles on this 78th birthday (July 31, 1933).[5][6][7]
