Thomas just homered again tonight.His 4th of the year,and career homer #440. He's 2 away from tying Dave Kingman for 29th on the all-time home run list.

The Big Hurt now has 6 HR's in just 32 at-bats. Amazing! :clapping

[yes to bert & al!]

[Chisox73]

He is now tied with Dave Kingman for 29th on the all-time home run list.

The next 2 players to pass up are Jeff Bagwell and Carl Yastrzemski

[Hammerin Hank]

Yesterday against the Cubs, Frank hit his 443rd career homerun, passing Dave Kingman for 28th all time. Ironic that he'd hit this homerun against the Cubs.

[Hammerin Hank]

Yesterday against the Indians, Frank walked for the 1465th time in his career, passing Willie Mays for 17th all time.

How about his stats for this year. 30 games, 25 rbi, 11 hr. Very nice.

[misfitz69]

He Just hit HR # 12. Thats 12 home runs in 22 hits this season. Also thats 26 RBIs this season. All in 31 games. 2 words come to mind......

That's #448 for his career.Needs 4 to tie Carl Yastrzemski for 27th all-time.

Yesterday against the Rangers, Frank Thomas played in his 2000th career game. Thomas has played 1959 career games with the White Sox and 41 for the Athletics so far. He's played 1028 games as DH and 971 at first base. The last player to reach 2000 games was Tino Martinez with the Yankees last year.

Can we have this thread merged with the one I posted in the Oakland forum? (By which, I mean I want this thread in the A's forum) http://baseball-fever.com/showthread.php?t=44271

Its absolutely amazing what a great player hes been in his career and how for some reason he'll get debated on whether hes HOF or not. Theres no question in my mind, one of the best "clean" hitters of the 90s, if not THE best. A man who redefined On-Base Percentage and proved you can hit homers and not strike out unlike a good portion of the prospects coming up these days.

Also not to intrude too much HH but where in Woodridge are you from? I'm actually from Downers Grove, not too far.

Right in the middle, by the intersection of 75th and Woodridge. You know, where the White Hen is?

[Whitesoxnut]

He is HOF that's for sure. The only thing I never liked about him was his incessant whining. There is no doubt he's a great hitter and once Oakland heals some injuries they will be a far better team then a lot of people think.

[FedEx]

Not too sure about that Oakland was VERY VERY overrated coming into the season. They were the ESPN darling pick but were much more bark then bite. The fact that they thought Loaiza legitimized the rotation is a joke.

Hooray for the Big Hurt! My son and I watched him slug
homers as a Birmingham Baron in 1990. Prior to that he
was an Auburn Tiger. Good lineage!

My son is an Auburn grad living and working in Auburn
now and Frank Thomas remains one of his heroes.

The Big Hurt for the HOF!:clapping

Yesterday against the Twins, Thomas had his 1494th career RBI, passing Dave Parker for 44th all time. He's needs only 15 more to catch Mickey Mantle for 43rd all time.

[Hammerin Hank]

Yesterday against the Indians, Frank got his 1500th career RBI.

[Hammerin Hank]

Yesterday against the Yankee$, Frank hit his 463rd career homerun, passing Jose Canseco for 26th all time.

21. Lou Gehrig: 493
21. Fred McGriff: 493
23. Stan Musial: 475
23. Willie Stargell: 475
25. Dave Winfield: 465
26. Frank Thomas: 463
27. Jose Canseco: 462

I think he'll be alone in 23rd at the end of the season.
