Dan Thomas
Danny Lee Thomas (May 9, 1951June 12, 1980) was a Major League Baseball player who played for the Milwaukee Brewers in 1976 and 1977. During his brief major league career, he became known as the "Sundown Kid" because of his well-publicized refusal to play on seventh-day Sabbath.
==Early years==
Born in Birmingham, Alabama, Thomas grew up in East Carondelet, Illinois, where he graduated from Dupo Senior High School. He then attended Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, playing on the university's baseball team. In June, 1971, he played in the College World Series, when the Southern Illinois Salukis advanced to the final game, losing the match for the national championship to Southern California (USC) 7–2 on June 17.
The next year, Thomas was picked 6th overall in the 1972 amateur draft by the Milwaukee Brewers. In 1975, he was suspended for a half-season for striking an umpire, but in 1976 he had a league-leading .325 batting average in the Eastern League, playing for the Berkshire Brewers, and was named the league's Player of the Year.〔 〕 He won the Eastern League's Triple Crown by also leading in home runs and runs batted in, an accomplishment that would not be equalled again in that minor league until Lou Montañez garnered the Eastern League Triple Crown 32 years later, in 2008.
