Hobbies are fishing, tennis, golf and water sports: Guy
likes being outdoors.
Favorite sports announcer is Chris Berman: Thompson did not
get a nickname from Berman.
Favorite player as a kid was Pete Rose: In high school
Thompson grew his hair shaggy in emulation of Rose.
Might have been an educator if he hadn’t been an athlete:
Thompson did not go into education after his baseball career.
Pet peeve is slow traffic in the fast lane: Lots of
lead-footed drivers in this set.
Where he is now: As of 2016 he was a Special Assistant to
the Indians GM. Not clear if he is still in the role.
I had him confused with the Yankees coach Rob Thomson. Thought they were the same guy at first, because I heard the name on TV and thought of the former 2nd baseman. Didn't see Thomson's name spelled because the Yanks dont have names on their jerseys.
