Big Hurt In The Second City

I am happy that the White Sox won the World Series, and that the "Curse of Shoeless Joe"--whatever the f&%k that is-- is over. I do feel bad for the "Big Hurt", Frank Thomas, though. One of the games greatest hitters, a player who I think should be in the Hall of Fame but will likely not make it, Thomas was injured for most of the season and was unable to make any on-field contributions during the Fall Classic. Thomas has carried the franchise for many years, and it is unfortunate that he will not be able to completely share in his teammates joy. The worst part is that winning a World Series might have been something that pushed him over the top in Hall of Fame voters' minds. I hope that Ozzie Guillen, the players, and White Sox management take the time and effort to thank Thomas for all he has done for Major League Baseball and the White Sox franchise.

The best way to gauge this is to see whether the players vote Thomas a World Series share.

They better. The guy hit 12 dingers in about a week this year.
