Thomas George Hutton (born
April 20, 1946), is an American former professional baseball infielder -outfielder who played in Major League Baseball (MLB)
for the Los Angeles Dodgers , Philadelphia Phillies , Toronto Blue Jays , and Montreal Expos . He is a former color analyst for Florida/Miami Marlins baseball broadcasts on FSN Florida and Sun Sports . Hutton played in the major leagues with the Los
Angeles Dodgers, in 1966 and 1969 , Philadelphia Phillies, from 1972 to 1977 , Toronto Blue Jays, in 1978 , and the Montreal Expos, from the latter part of the 1978
season to his final game on September 3, 1981. He appeared in the 1976 and 1977
National League Championship Series (NLCS), with the Phillies. While
highly regarded as a standout glove man at first base , Hutton gained considerable notoriety during his
Phillies career for his success while batting against Hall of Famer Tom Seaver of the New York Mets ; in 62 plate appearances against Seaver, Hutton batted .320, with
11 walks , three home runs , and 15 runs batted in (RBI).
Hutton
is also notable for never being hit by pitch during his professional career, in 1,920
plate appearances. (Contrast that with Ron Hunt , who was hit by a pitch 243 times during his career,
approximately once every 25 times at the plate.) Hutton and his wife Debby have competed
in the Boston Marathon and
reside in Palm Beach Gardens,
Florida . His brother-in-law Dick Ruthven was an MLB pitcher from 1973 to 1986. The
two were teammates on the Phillies from 1973 to 1975. A cousin, Bill Seinsoth , was a star baseball player at the University of Southern
California before he was killed in a 1969 automobile accident.
