Timeline

1959

Milton Bernard Thompson (born January 5, 1959), is an American former professional baseball outfielder, pinch hitter, and coach, who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Atlanta Braves, Philadelphia Phillies, St. Louis Cardinals, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Colorado Rockies.

1979

The Atlanta Braves drafted Thompson in the 2nd round (29th overall) of the 1979 draft, out of Howard University.

1984

He made his big league debut, five years later, in 1984.

After two years in Atlanta, as a part-time left fielder, the Braves traded Thompson, along with Steve Bedrosian, to the Phillies, for Ozzie Virgil and Pete Smith.

Thompson continued to impress, batting .251, .302, and .288, respectively, in his three seasons in Philadelphia.

1988

On December 16, 1988, Thompson was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals, for Steve Lake and Curt Ford, where he spent four years and posted his highest batting average ever, .307, in 1991.

1992

Following the 1992 season, Thompson was granted free agency and elected to return to the Phillies.

1993

As a key component in the Phillies’ unexpected, last-to-first 1993 National League Championship team, Thompson platooned in left field with Pete Incaviglia, in the World Series, against the Toronto Blue Jays.

He remained an ever-popular fan favorite, while having another stellar season.

Perhaps Thompson's greatest MLB performance came on April 29, 1993.

That day, the Phillies left fielder really "brought his 'A' Game" to the San Diego Padres’ Jack Murphy Stadium.

He had already gone 3-for-4 at the plate (3 singles), with 2 runs batted in (RBI), and one run scored.

Then, crowning his day — and quite possibly his big league career: With the game on the line and the Phillies ahead 5-3, in the bottom of the eighth inning and two out, the Padres had the bases loaded, bringing their slugging right-handed catcher, Bob Geren, to the plate.

David West, the Phillies’ left-handed relief pitcher, delivered a choice fastball that took a long ride, sailing over 370 ft from home plate, and above the wall in left-center field.

The fleet-footed Thompson arrived just in time, planted his feet, and made a surreal leap – seemingly sensing in some sort of inexact prayer, where the ball was – and cradled it into his glove's web, retiring the side and preserving another Phillies win, in that magical 1993 season, high-fiving center fielder Lenny Dykstra all the way to the visiting dugout.

Having played for the 1993 National League Champions, Thompson joined Larry Bowa and John Vukovich as the only Phillies in franchise history to go to the World Series as both a player and coach for the club.

1994

On July 31, 1994, Thompson was traded by Philadelphia, to the Houston Astros, for pitcher Tom Edens.

Again, following the 1994 season, Thompson was granted free agency, after being with the Astros for only a short time.

As a free agent, he elected to re-sign with Houston, for another year.

1996

After the 1995 season, Thompson was again a free agent, and signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers; on June 27, 1996, he was selected off waivers by the Colorado Rockies.

His career with the Rockies lasted just over 5 weeks, as Thompson received his unconditional release on August 2, 1996, thus ending his big league playing career.

1997

In 1997, Thompson became the minor league outfield/base-running coordinator in the Tampa Bay Devil Rays organization.

1998

In 1998, he joined the Phillies as a minor league coach.

2000

Thompson lasted there for two seasons, until taking 2000 off, then returned as a minor league base-running/outfield coordinator, again in the Phillies farm system.

2004

In 2004, Thompson joined the major league Phillies staff as first base coach.

The next year, he became the team's hitting coach, where he remained for five-plus seasons.

During Thompson's tenure as batting coach, the Phillies have led the league twice in runs scored, even though they have alternated between only 2nd and 3rd place in their respective division due to pitching difficulties.

2005

He was one of the few coaches not fired by the organization in 2005.

2008

As the hitting coach of the 2008 World Champion Philadelphia Phillies, Thompson earned the first World Series ring of his long career in baseball.

2009

He would return to the World Series in 2009, where the Phillies lost to the New York Yankees, in six games.

2010

On Thursday, July 22, 2010, Thompson was relieved of his duties as the Phillies’ hitting coach, being replaced by former Minor League hitting coach Greg Gross.

Thompson was hired by the Astros that November, as their minor league outfield/base-running coordinator.

2014

He became a coach for the Kansas City Royals’ Class A affiliate, the Wilmington Blue Rocks, in 2014.

2017

Thompson joined the Reds organization, as a minor league hitting instructor, in 2017.

Thompson has four daughters.

He resides in Washington Township, Gloucester County, New Jersey, with his family.

2019

He returned as the Cincinnati Reds’ minor league hitting instructor, for the 2019 season.

Over his MLB career, Thompson compiled a batting average of .274.
