Thomas Stirman (born August 22, 1879) was a Negro leagues outfielder and manager for several years before the founding of the first Negro National League.
He began playing semi-pro baseball in Kansas City, for the Jenkins Piano Company team, and the Bradbury Piano Company team before scoring a role with the Kansas City Giants by 1909.[1]
He spent a few years playing with the Kansas City Royal Giants, and ended up playing for a Marion County, Ohio City League team in 1914. He was asked to manage one of those teams for the 1915 season.[1]
