Outfielder Tommy O’Brien filled in admirably as a backup for the Pittsburgh Pirates during the World War II years of 1943 through 1945, but with Ralph Kiner coming up in 1946, the Pirates sent him to Hollywood in the Pacific Coast League. He returned to the big leagues with the Boston Red Sox in 1949 and 1950. In all, he spent 16 seasons playing professional baseball.
