[edit] Biographical Information
Otis Thornton was a catcher who spent a number of years in the Houston Astros organization. His only ML experience came on July 6, 1973, as he played for the Astros in both ends of a doubleheader against the Montreal Expos at Jarry Park.
Thornton is one of the very few people to have a one-day ML playing career that consisted of more than one game. He was also the first player in major league history whose entire ML playing career took place outside the United States.
