Frank Thomas hits 2 homers...

[CubinNY]

Big Frank should get in to the HOF without a doubt. He played his first six years before (1990-95) the "steriod era" and put up these numbers:

BA     OBP     SLG     OPS
.323   .452     .593    1.046

 

Sick

 

And his career numbers look like this:

BA     OBP     SLG     OPS
.307   .427     .568    .995

 

He should end his career with around 500 HRs and 2,500 hits.

 

It's a no-brainer.

I agree - if he doesn't get in there ought to be an investigation. He was so dominant its almost unfathomable. Imagine if the Sox had actually put some players around hm during his prime (other than Ventura) and had starters other than Blck Jack.

 

And please stop measuring HOF-worthiness based only on HRs. The fact that Sosa has more - steroid aided or not - does not make him a better hitter than Thomas. Thomas was and is a much better hitter.

That...was sorta the point I was making. Sosa has about 150 more homers...but was/is the inferior player to Thomas (even counting the fact that he played much of his career at DH). The fact that Thomas could control the strike zone, hit for power and average, draw walks, etc. makes him a better overall hitter.
