Thomas Francis Stankard (1882–1958), was an American football and baseball player. He played college football and baseball at College of Holy Cross. In 1903, he compiled a .412 batting average for the Holy Cross baseball team and was selected by Walter Camp as a third-team halfback on his 1903 College Football All-America Team.[1] [2] In July 1904, he appeared in two games in Major League Baseball with the Pittsburgh Pirates, compiling no hits in two plate appearances.[3] He also played 11 seasons and more than 1,000 games as a first and second baseman in minor league baseball from 1904 to 1914, including stints with the Springfield Ponies (1906–08, 1913–14), Denver Grizzlies (1909) and Holyoke Papermakers (1912).[4]
