Thomas James Urbani (born January 21, 1968 in Santa Cruz, California) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher who played for four seasons. He played for the St. Louis Cardinals from 1993 to 1996, and played the rest of the 1996 season with the Detroit Tigers after being traded.
In 1999 Urbani ended his career, pitching for the Italian baseball team of the Rimini Pirates as an Italian-American (oriundo) player. He led the team to a 7 games Championship Series win against Nettuno : in that season Urbani threw the fifth perfect game in the history of the Italian baseball (against the San Marino team), and the only one in the 40 years history of the Rimini team. In that summer (1999), Urbani played as a starting pitcher for the Italian national team in the pre-Olympic European tournament, beating France on a two hit, 14 strike out effort.
