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]

Notes

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]

gollark: Anyway, what do the wise people of this channel think I should do regarding this? I can probably:- ignore the hypothetical capacitor and hope it hypothetically exploding is not important and has not caused/will not cause other damage- send it in for repair under the standard warranty and suffer for some time- upgrade the warranty (fairly cheap) for onsite support, somehow resolve logistical issues surrounding this, and have it maybe get fixed- borrow equipment from somewhere to attempt repairs myself
gollark: The "Ackerman routing protocol" was entirely made up, so yes, that is to be expected.
gollark: (this is over *LAN*; powerline adapters over really bad wiring or something)
gollark: I know exactly what the issue is, I just can't do anything about it.
gollark: The best I can do is synchronizing most of my data (via syncthing), quite slowly.
