Frank Thomas can refer to different people: Frank Thomas, the college football coach. ...
Thomas played first base during the early part of his career and was not known for his defense.
Thomas somewhat resurrected his career in 2003; although he hit a subpar.267, he was tied for second in the American League in home runs (42), and was in the league's top ten in walks, extra-base hits, slugging percentage, and on-base plus slugging.
Thomas also won a World Series title with the Chicago White Sox in 2005, and many feel this World Series win clinched his place in the Baseball Hall of Fame, even if his on-field performance that year was lackluster.
FrankThomas arrived at Oakland Athletics' spring training Thursday but it will still be a while before his new teammates get to see the BigHurt in a game.
Thomas won't be able to take part in workouts until the team's doctors check out an MRI exam of his surgically repaired left ankle, and he said he plans to spend most of the spring hitting in "B" games with minor leaguers.
Thomas still has lingering bitterness about the way his 16-year tenure in Chicago, saying the team should have called him to tell him he was being cut loose.
