Thomas Jerome Ferrick (January 6, 1915 – October 15, 1996) was an American Major League Baseball pitcher, pitching coach and scout.

Primarily a relief pitcher, he stood 6 ft 2+1⁄2 in (1.89 m) tall and weighed 220 pounds (100 kg) in his playing days.

[1] He spent the 1940 season with the Brooklyn Bushwicks, and pitched well enough to catch the eye of Philadelphia Athletics manager Connie Mack.

He made his major league debut against the Boston Red Sox on April 19, 1941, and pitched three scoreless innings in relief.

While serving in Hawaii in 1944, he played baseball at Kāneʻohe Bay Naval Air Station, and starred in the 1944 Pacific Service World Series between the Navy and U.S. Army.

In 1945, Chief Petty Officer Ferrick participated in the Navy's Western Pacific Tour, playing for the fifth fleet team.

[7] When he returned to the Indians in 1946, he made just nine appearances before being sold to the St. Louis Browns upon new owner Bill Veeck's dismantling of the club.

"[14] He made one appearance in the 1950 World Series against the Philadelphia Phillies, pitching the final inning of game three to earn the win.

His son, Tom Jr., is a former newspaper columnist for The Philadelphia Inquirer, and often recounted anecdotes of his father's playing career in his column.
