Born in 1963 in Sarnia, Ont., Rob Thomson grew up in\nnearby Corunna. A standout player for the Intercounty League\u2019s Stratford\nHillers in the early \u201980s, Thomson was recruited by Dick Groch, later a famous\nNew York Yankees scout, to play for St. Clair Community College. The young\nCanadian suited up there for one year before transferring to the University of\nKansas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1984, Thomson\nwas part of the Canadian squad that competed in the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los\nAngeles when baseball was a demonstration sport. The following year, he was\nselected by the Detroit Tigers in the 32nd round of MLB draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Canuck\ncatcher\/third baseman would advance as high as the class-A level before\nshifting his focus to coaching in 1988. He served as a minor league coach in\nthe Tigers system for two seasons before joining the New York Yankees in 1990.\nOver the next 28 seasons, the hard-working Canadian evolved into one of the\nmost respected coaches in the professional ranks. After serving in several\ncapacities in the Bombers\u2019 organization, including minor league coach, manager,\nfield coordinator and director of player development, he joined the Yankees\u2019\nbig league staff as a special assignment instructor in 2004.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four years\nlater, he was hired as Yankees bench coach and that season, he managed three\ngames in Joe Girardi\u2019s absence to become the first Canadian to manage a major\nleague contest since George Gibson with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1934. From\n2009 to 2014, Thomson was the Yankees\u2019 third base coach, and he played an\nimportant role on the Bombers\u2019 2009 World-Series-winning club. He returned to\nthe bench coach role in 2015 and worked in that capacity through 2017. Thomson\nhad also organized spring training for the Yankees since 1998 and secured five\nWorld Series rings during his lengthy tenure with the franchise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In December\n2017, Thomson was hired by the Philadelphia Phillies to be their bench coach\nand he is now in his second season in that role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I am\nhumbled and honoured to be inducted into Canada\u2019s Baseball Hall of Fame!”\nsaid Thomson. “Growing up in Corunna Ontario, I would have never dreamt\nthat such an honour would be bestowed onto me. Congratulations to Gord, Ryan\nand Jason! My Canadian pride will be shining at its brightest as I get inducted\non the same day with three fellow Canadians who have achieved so many fantastic\nthings in our great sport. I look forward to June 15th to not only share the\nday with Gord, Ryan and Jason but also with my family and many people that have\ntouched my life and continue to do so!”  <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
