[edit] Biographical Information
Tommy Dunbar is a former Major League Baseball outfielder who played for the Texas Rangers between 1983 and 1985.
Dunbar was originally drafted by the Boston Red Sox in the 11th round, 286th overall, of the 1979 amateur draft. Deciding not to sign that year, he was drafted by the Rangers in the 1st round, 25th overall, of the 1980 amateur draft - after which, he signed.
Dunbar played a total of 91 Major League games in which he hit .231 with 3 home runs and 31 RBI, striking out 32 times and walking 23. In the field, he committed 4 errors for a .929 fielding percentage - which isn't too great for an outfielder. Dunbar was a part of the Rangers losing a perfect game on September 30th, 1984. He went 0-3 against California Angels pitcher Mike Witt.
Perhaps it was his number that made his career so short - he wore the number 13 throughout his entire career.
