Thomas Francis Qualters (April 1, 1935 – February 15, 2024), nicknamed Money Bags, was an American right-handed major league baseball pitcher, born in McKeesport, Pennsylvania.
At 6 feet (1.83 m) tall, 190 pounds (86 kg), pitcher Qualters was a bonus baby with the Philadelphia Phillies, signed out of high school for $40,000.
However, he remained on the Phillies' roster for two years (1953 and 1954), only appearing in that one game, and earning the nickname "Money Bags" from his teammates.
After spending two years in the International League, he had a couple more cups of coffee with Philadelphia (pitching in six games in 1957 and one in 1958) before being sent to the Chicago White Sox.
[1] After his baseball career ended, Qualters worked for the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission as a law enforcement officer.
