Thurman Tucker (1917–93) was an American
center fielder in
Major League Baseball who played for nine seasons in the
American League with the
Chicago White Sox and
Cleveland Indians. In 701 career games, Tucker recorded a
batting average of .255 and accumulated 24
triples, 9
home runs, and 179
runs batted in. He was nicknamed "Joe E." Tucker because of his resemblance to comedian
Joe E. Brown. Born and raised in
Gordon, Texas, he was a three-sport athlete at high school, playing
baseball (where he was a
second baseman),
basketball, and
track and field. Tucker first played baseball professionally with the Siloam Springs Travelers. After playing in minor league baseball, he was signed by the Chicago White Sox before the 1941 season. His major league debut came the following year and he spent two years as the White Sox's starting center fielder until he enlisted in the armed forces during World War II. Upon his return, Tucker played two more seasons for the White Sox. Subsequently, he was traded to the Cleveland Indians, for whom he played four years, and continued to play minor league baseball throughout the 1950s. After his retirement, he became a major league scout and insurance agent. (
