William Carrigan, manager of the Boston American League team, was born in 1882 at Lewiston, Maine. He received his early baseball training at the Lewiston High School and at Holy Cross College. He was secured for the Boston Club in 1906, but in the spring of 1907 was farmed out to Toronto. He played with Toronto throughout that season, rejoining Boston in the fall of the same year.

In four minor league seasons, Tommy never batted below. 308. In tough Triple-A competition, he batted .345 and was the circuit's top hitter. A top draft pick by the Pilots in '68!
