Frank Thompson (outfielder)
Frank Thompson (born Augustus Fernandez; 1852 – October 30, 1925) was a Portuguese professional baseball player who played outfield for the Brooklyn Atlantics and catcher for the Washington Nationals in 1875. In 2018, researchers determined that Frank Thompson of the 1875 Brooklyn Atlantics and a player previously known only by the surname "Thompson" of the 1875 Washington Nationals were actually the same player and that he had been born in Madeira as "Augustus Fernandez." He was the first Major League Baseball player known to have been born in Portugal.
