Tommy McKale played on Warren High School championship baseball and football teams in the 1930s.

In 1936 Tommy was a member of the Warren High baseball team that won the Class C Championship and advanced to the finals of the state playoffs before losing to Cranston.  He pitched a no-hitter versus Providence Trade and shut out Burrillville in the Class C title game.

He received Class C honors in both 1937 and 1938.  In 1937 he shut out Barrington and Bristol’s Colt Memorial in back-to-back games.

Playing alongside fellow Hall of Fame members Duke Abbruzzi and Donat Brochu, Tommy was a member of the 1936 Warren High football eleven that went undefeated and captured the Class C Championship.

Tommy pitched in the Warren versus Bristol Baseball Little World Series both before and after World War Two.  Playing on three victorious Series teams, he compiled a record of six wins and three losses.

He played on a number of East Bay baseball and softball teams.  In baseball he played for the Crown Zippers team that won the Rhode Island Baseball League’s 1941 regular season title and the 1946 Warren Townies who lost only one game all season.  And in softball, his teams nabbed championships twenty-one years apart – the 1940 Narries and 1961 Smith’s Drug units.

Tommy was the manager of the Little League Baseball Senators from its initial year of 1952 until 1956.  He later participated with the Old Timers in baseball contests versus Bristol.
