February 15, 201016 yr Got my tickets today for the game. I was there for his return, will be there for his retirement, and plan on being in Cooperstown for his induction.
February 15, 201016 yr Frank Thomas made it cool to be a White Sox fan. I certainly hope he receives the accolades he deserves now that he's gone. His legacy certainly looks so much better now that many of the steroids cheaters have been exposed. Let Frank bask in first-ballot HOF glow while all the cheaters rot on the sidelines. That would be some justice.
February 15, 201016 yr I've been on Mars for the past few days....just caught word of this today. I don't even know what to say that hasn't been said already. No statue in centerfield....it needs to be bigger than that. I'm talking 50ft high in the middle of the Ryan on the way to the Cell. Frank Thomas was a man amongst children. I wish I could see a montage of early 90's manager's faces as he stepped into the on deck circle in a close ballgame. #35, you will always be the greatest hitter of all-time in my mind.

February 15, 201016 yr Frank was my favorite player, probably always will be. Good luck on making the hall!
February 15, 201016 yr QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 15, 2010 -> 01:09 PM) How is that? I was sick as a dog from Thurs-Sun and did nothing but lay in bed and play Madden '10.

Sports writers will have to put their votes where their mouths are now. They have b****ed for years about cheaters, and this will be their chance to prove it with about the cleanest perceived player superstar in the last 20 years or so.
February 16, 201016 yr QUOTE (G&T @ Feb 14, 2010 -> 08:18 AM) If I'm still here in 2014 years, that's a trip to Cooperstown I'm making. I'm going to go out on a limb and say you won't be.

February 16, 201016 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 15, 2010 -> 06:30 PM) cleanest perceived player........... Some probably think Frank was juiced. Imagine if Frank did roids. I would think his average would be around .340 with 50 to 60 plus HRs and at least 2 triple crowns. I think people can get lost in players hitting home runs, but Frank was a very tough out. They would try to back door him only to see the ball get hit up the middle. Edited February 16, 201016 yr by kitekrazy
