Thomas James Delahanty (March 9, 1872 – January 10, 1951) was an American professional baseball infielder, who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Philadelphia Phillies, Cleveland Spiders, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Louisville Colonels, from 1894 to 1897.[1] Delahanty made his Major League debut on the last game of the season for the Phillies. This appearance most likely only happened because his older brother Ed was "pestering" the Phillies to give Tom a shot.

He was the second-oldest of the five Delahanty brothers to make the Major Leagues Ed, Jim, Frank and Joe.

He is buried at All Souls Cemetery in Sanford, Florida.[2]
