Henry Joseph Thielman was born in St. Cloud, Minnesota, on October 30, 1880. He attended Manhattan College and the University of Notre Dame.

Thielman, an outfielder and pitcher, made his major league debut with the New York Giants on April 17, 1902. During his two years in the major leagues, he also played for the Cincinnati Reds and Brooklyn Suberbas.

After retiring from professional baseball, Thielman completed two years of dental school at Philadelphia Dental College and then transferred to the University of Pennsylvania Dental School for his senior year.
