Tom Gunning played six seasons in the major leagues, apparently at only one position, catcher. He had been at two colleges before the majors, Boston College and College of the Holy Cross, at the same time as Jimmy Ryan was there. After his playing days he went to the University of Pennsylvania where he received his medical degree. There is no record of his playing baseball there. Among his other work, he became medical examiner and city physician for the city of Fall River, MA.
