He definitely deserved it.

Awesome!! Frank is the reason I am a White Sox fan!! Well deserved!!

Great news....glad I got to see this day....also glad I dont have to hear about Jack Morris anymore

Congrats to a very deserving BIG HURT! God, I'm elated! I haven't been so White Sox-emotional since 2005. Feels good!!!

 

HALL OF FAMER, FRANK THOMAS!

 

Congrats Frank! It's been fun tracking this the past few weeks.

Simply put awesome, Congrats Big Man!

GOAT Sox player. Not even close really.

 

 

 

 

Raines got 46.1. Durham got 0 votes.

 

 

Also mlb just said Thomas is the first player in...then my tv cutoff. What did they say

So happy for BIG Frank!! As a player who knows the history of the game, I know this has to mean a lot to the BIG Hurt! First ballot Hall of Fame and deserves it 100%

DH to get in

So happy for Frank best hitter in Sox uniform in my lifetime.

I started to think about what Frank Thomas means to me and to my fandom. Tears started welling in my eyes. I wish like hell athletes didn't have to age.

Of course Gammons uses this as a platform for Schilling to get in.

 

 

Thomas going to be interviewed on mlbn soon.

Very excited for this. So glad he's getting in on the first try!

The White Sox greatest player gets MLB's greatest honor. Congratulations, and thanks, Hurt.

I'm with you. I was shaking, and then tears. So happy

Of course the BBWAA site is crashed. Why wouldn't it be?

I concur, really is cool to think...I remember him being drafted and playing in County Stadium to make his debut.

 

Wonder who inductes him......

 

Thomas ana LaRussa bring back some odd emotions in regard to the White Sox recent history.

 

 

Oh God, this means I'm going to have to choke down some Big Hurt Beer tonight.

They don't do that at the Baseball Hall of Fame. They play a video and people talk, but nobody is there in person to introduce him. Selig reads the plaques, and Frank gives a speech.

This Maddux/Glavine lovefest is overshadowing anyone talking about Frank. BOOOOOO

I've heard almost no discussion of Thomas on ESPN

Palmeiro fell off the ballot.

 

Larry Walker got fewer votes than Mark McGwire, which surprises me.

I've been watching MLB Network for the past 2 hours, and it's been almost exclusively about Maddux and Glavine playing together, and John Smoltz has been in studio discussing it all. Now, since the announcement, they've just talked about other pitching duos in the Hall, and right now Maddux and Glavine are both being interviewed, with John Smoltz there too.

 

Poor Frank, no one outside Chicago seems to give a s***.
