Frank Thomas by the end of his career will have more than 500 homeruns which is a ticket in itself to the Hall of Fame.  Frank will also secure his place in Cooperstown, NY as he will have a career batting average over .300, over a 18 plus year career.  It isn't just what Frank Thomas has done on the field, but off the field as well.

 

Off the field Frank has battled injury after injury giving him the nickname the 'Big Hurt.'  However, he has been able to battle back from injuries time and time again and when he does battle back, it is with force.  Frank has been one of the few 'good' guys in the game over the last decade.  Over the last decade players have become more greedy in their contracts, but not Frank.  Frank was willing to spend his entire career as a member of the White Sox but with bad relations with their Front Office it will not happen.  Also over the last decade steroids have come into play, as several high profiled stars have been marked by this word.  Frank Thomas though has spoken out against the use of steroids and has been 'clean' his entire career, playing the game with integrity and honor.

 

Frank Thomas will be worthy of being in the Hall of Fame when his career in Major League Baseball is over.
