Frank R. Thompson, Jr. (October 26, 1918 – February, 1983), nicknamed "Groundhog", was an American pitcher in the Negro leagues from 1945 to 1954. A native of Merryville, Louisiana, Thompson joined the Birmingham Black Barons in 1945, where he was praised by his manager as possessing, "a fastball, curve, sinker, control, and poise on the mound,...learns fast and is constantly picking up the finer points of the pitching art." His undeniable skill combined with his diminutive size and unusual physical appearance quickly made Thompson a fan-favorite.
