Thomas William Leach (November 4, 1877 - September 29, 1969) is amoung Pittsburgh's greatest players ever. He was a participant in baseball's first ever World Series in 1903. In that series he hit 4 triples which is a record that still stands. He was nicknamed "wee Tommy" by fellow teammates because he was known for his small stature and quickness. In 1902 he lead the National League in home runs with 6. All were inside-the park. Inside-the-park home runs were the common types of home runs during the deadball era of baseball. In his 19 year career he hit 63 home runs and 49 of them were inside-the-park which is still and National League record. He can be found in the top 100 of all time in runs scored and stolen bases. While playing for Pittsburgh they won the pennant 4 times and the World Series 1 time. He could play almost any position. You would see him at shortstop, third, second, or in the outfield. He later played for Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds.
