Some Famous People called Tom Marsh
Tom Marsh (baseball)
Thomas Owen Marsh (born December 27, 1965) is an American former Major League Baseball player. Marsh played high school ball at Woodward High School in Toledo. He played college baseball at the University of Toledo from 1985–1988. He was drafted by Philadelphia in the 16th round of the 1988 MLB draft and made his Major League Baseball debut in 1992 for the Philadelphia Phillies. Marsh only played for parts of three seasons in MLB baseball — all with the Phillies — in 1992, 1994, and 1995. He was involved in a serious on-field injury during a game in 1995. Due to the seriousness of the matter, ESPNs Baseball Tonight devoted much of its program that evening to Marsh's injury.

Tom Marsh (politician)
Tom Marsh (born December 7, 1939) is a former member of the Oregon House of Representatives, representing portions of Washington County, Oregon, United States. He served two terms, from January 1975 through 1978, in the 58th Oregon Legislative Assembly and the 59th.
Marsh graduated from the University of Oregon, earning bachelor's and master's degrees in history and English.
A Democrat, he was first elected to the Oregon Legislature in 1974. Prior to that, he had been president of the Beaverton Education Association. He also was a teacher of history and government at Sunset High School, north of Beaverton. He continued teaching when the Legislature was not in session. In 1975, Governor Robert W. Straub appointed Marsh to a two-year term on the Governor's Committee on Aging.
Tom Marsh was reelected to the House in 1976, but in 1978 decided not to run for a third term. He was succeeded by Nancy Ryles.
The House district represented by Marsh was numbered District 5 at the time (and since 1971), and remained so under Ryles, but became District 7 in 1982, as a result of a reapportionment plan passed by the Oregon Legislature in 1981, based on data from the 1980 U.S. Census.
Marsh later served on the Washington County Council on Aging.
