I am strongly considering right now.

Me too, only Utah is even further and by the time it rolls around I think I'm going to be living back in Seattle again. That's a loooooong haul.

I definitely wouldn't be driving. Maybe fly into Buffalo or New York and drive from there, but Cooperstown is like 23 hours away from me. That is most definitely too far to drive.

I was 7 when Frank made his MLB debut so I grew up watching him throughout my childhood, he has always been my favorite player. I knew he would make the Hall of Fame, but getting in the first ballot is just so awesome.

Fly into Albany, drive from there.

That will be the easiest, but it would all depend on cost. Also, whether I can actually do it too.

I was 20 what a great time to be 20-25 years old.

 

Frank Thomas and the onset of grunge.

Give me a holler when you move here. We'll go catch a game together.

I will. It's still up in the air, but we'll see.

ESPNChiSox: Frank suggests his production might have led players to use PEDs.

Thomas on PEDs: "I was one of those guys who made a few guys go in that direction because of [my] size and strength."

It's impossible to disagree with that.

Jacque Jones received more Hall of Fame votes (1) than he had All-Star seasons (0).

HE'S TO BLAME! IMPEACH FRANK THOMAS!

The greatness of Frank Thomas

Really irritating to hear people b**** about how it is unfair to assume the Big Hurt didn't use steroids when we are just assuming about everyone else. Get your head out of your ass and do some research. This guy spent much of his career talking about PED use and even tried to game the system to force testing to start happening. There is literally nobody that would surprise me more to find out that he used steroids than Frank Thomas, including my boyhood hero Ken Griffey Jr.

Frank Thomas says Jeff Nelson was toughest pitcher he ever faced.

He's really the only slugger from the juice era that is in HOF and he did it on first ballot with something like the 55th all time highest percentage. The majority have spoken and have not only recognized he's clean but are holding him out as an example of a clean player in a dirty era.

 

People need to get clicks on their websites or ears to their radio show.

Let's all laugh at this Facebook comment: "Jack Morris shouldve made it! He had the most wins in the 80s!"

Nelson had great number against Thomas.

Oh, and this too: "If Bagwell had played in Chicago and Thomas in Houston, NO DOUBT that Baggy would be a HOFer!!!"

that's...... fine, but it doesn't refute anything I said

 

androstenedione is a PED, has always been, same with amphetamines

 

they weren't always banned substances but that isn't what was said

 

what was said was "piazza never used PEDs", which is 100% false

My point was, if you put amphetamines and andro in the same category as anabolic steroids than not only did Piazza use PEDs but almost everyone did.

Nelson had great number against Thomas.

 

Nelson was just a tough SOB to begin with. It really was too bad that the Sox didn't get him until his stuff was done.

My point was, if you put amphetamines and andro in the same category as anabolic steroids than not only did Piazza use PEDs but almost everyone did.

 

Which is why it's stupid that the voters are trying to play judge jury executioner with all the PEDs.

amphetamines and andro do not belong in the same category as AAS

Which is why it's stupid that the voters are trying to play judge jury executioner with all the PEDs.

I disagree. The amphetamines and andro do not have the same effect as anabolic steroids. If you want to go with the strcit route than nobody should be in the HOF including Thomas. I will wager that he used amphetamines at one point or another.

 

It's best to separate the steroids from the others as that is where the difference was made. Bonds, Sosa and McGwire did not hit those HR's on the back of amphetamines.
