knightni Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Oct 15, 2011 -> 09:47 PM) It'd be nice if one of these vanity businesses worked out for Frank. This one doesn't seem like a winner. How about a hitting video course? Like Tom Emanski... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one doesn't seem like a winner. Chances are, unlike his music business ventures, Frank has zero to very little money invested in this. He's probably getting paid to use his name and make some appearances. I doubt if Big Hurt Beer is a bust it will at least hurt him financially. It would probably cost him money, but not that he already has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 QUOTE (coco1997 @ Oct 15, 2011 -> 03:37 PM) Met Frank and got a picture with him as well as an autographed can, which he signed 'FRANK THOMAS #35, 93 94 AL MVP". In case he needed to remind me. He needs to add 2000 to that MVP list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chugging 2 in an hour is akin to chugging 7 normal beers in an hour. Really? So that's 4 normal cans. I guess I consider normal beer like 5-5.5% or so (either Miller/Bud, or wheat beers), so that math roughly works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much, according to White Sox legend Frank Thomas. The Big Hurt's new product — a namesake lager — is expected to arrive in Chicago-area bars and liquor stores in August. And at 7 percent alcohol, Big Hurt Beer — like its bat-wielding inspiration — also promises to be a hard-hitting presence in the city.
