Thomas Noble Oliver (January 15, 1903 – February 26, 1988) was a center fielder in Major League Baseball who played from 1930 through to 1933 for the Boston Red Sox. Listed at 6 feet (1.8 m) tall and 168 pounds (76 kg), Oliver batted and threw right-handed. He was born in Montgomery, Alabama. Oliver was a slap hitter who rarely tried to drive the ball. As an outfielder, his arm and speed were already well above average, while his graceful style prompted baseball historian Fred Lieb to compare him to Joe DiMaggio and Tris Speaker.
