Ron Tompkins (baseball)
Ronald Everett Tompkins (born November 27, 1944) is an American former professional baseball pitcher. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Kansas City Athletics (1965) and Chicago Cubs (1971). Tompkins never won a big-league game in his career. Today, he is perhaps best known for appearing on a Topps 1968 “Rookie Stars” baseball card with Hall of Fame catcher Johnny Bench–– a high profile card based on the fact that it is Bench’s rookie card.
