The well-regarded team-player was an All-Star in 1985 by hitting .302, lined 38 doubles, scored 97 runs, drove in 110 runs and stole 31 bases in 34 attempts. Herr struck out just 584 times in 1514 career games and twice led the league at second base in defensive double-plays along with teammate Hall of Fame shortstop Ozzie Smith. Herr played on three pennant winning Cardinal teams, 1982, 1985 and 1987, including their World Championship – 1982. A lifelong resident of Lancaster PA, after he retired from playing, Tom Herr became an assistance baseball coach at his high school alma mater, Hempfield High in Landisville PA, where he coached his two sons. In 2004 Herr was signed to managed the minor league team of the Lancaster Barnstormers for their inaugural year (2005).
