MLB’s Twitter honors the Hall of Famer Frank Thomas

The greatest player in the history of the Chicago White Sox is Frank Thomas. He was the best hitter that this team has ever seen. Nobody has even really come close to matching that level of production just yet either.

We can hope that one of the current players like Luis Robert or Eloy Jimenez can come close at least but it is a long shot and that tells just how good The Big Hurt was back in his day. We were lucky to have him in town for so long.

Of course, February is Black History Month. Major League Baseball’s Twitter account has been honoring some of the great black players that played over the course of history. They chose to honor our guy Frank Thomas on Friday and it was so cool to see.

This graphic shows all of the great achievements that Thomas had in his MLB career. He won the Home Run Derby in 1995 which goes with his 1997 AL Batting Title, five All-Star selections, and two American League MVPs. All of this led to him being a first-ballot Hall of Famer in 2014.

Frank Thomas is the greatest player in the history of the Chicago White Sox.

Thomas was also on the team in 2005 when they won the World Series. He was very injured so he barely played in that season but nobody should ever question his impact on that club. He also spent time with the Oakland A’s and Toronto Blue Jays in the latter stages of his career.

In 2006, his first year away from the White Sox, he bounced back so well that he came in fourth place for the American League MVP with the A’s. He proved that no matter where he went, he was an extremely impactful player.

It is very important to honor the greatest black players in the history of our great game. We are lucky to have Frank Thomas as a part of White Sox history. Not only is he one of the best players in the history of the White Sox, but he is also one of the greatest players in the history of Chicago sports. It was truly a special time for the team.
