About this person
Richard William Thon is a Puerto Rican-American former professional baseball player and coach. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a shortstop, most prominently as a member of the Houston Astros where he first established himself as an All-Star player in 1983. Thon's promising career was severely impacted in 1984 when he was struck by a baseball in his left eye. After a lengthy recovery period, he tenaciously resumed his baseball career and played for another 10 years, but he had to contend with headaches and blurred vision and was never able to recapture the form that had made him an All-Star player. He also played for the California Angels, San Diego Padres, Philadelphia Phillies, Texas Rangers, and Milwaukee Brewers, during the course of his 15-year Major League career. After his playing career, Thon served as a minor league instructor for the Houston Astros.
