- Some of Frank Thomas's highlights from his hall of fame career. All the clips except for 3 are home runs because I couldn't find much of him for some reason.

These Clips Belong To The MLB, FOX, ESPN, NBC & More
Growing up a kid in the 90s, it was Frank Thomas and Ken Griffey Jr. who were my Baseball heroes. The Big Hurt was so damned good.
Totally agree, and yea Frank was a monster. Lol you remember the Big Hurt and Ken Griffey jr video games?
Exactly. Ken & Frank were the BEST-
Thought it was bs when people accused them of roids
Don’t forget Jeff Bagwell.
💯
No hgh or steroids. 521 all natural homeruns. All the while never swinging for homeruns. Batting avg 301. Great eye Drew alot of walks.
My all time favorite White Sox player
What about nugenix?
@@tedhampton9498 he’s on the total t 😂
Sometimes I wonder if Big Hurt had used steroids the numbers he would have put up. Maybe even better than the Bonds 73 homerun season.
How do you know he didn't take anything? Did he tell you that?
I don't think Frank Thomas gets enough credit as to how amazing of a hitter he actually was. Being able to hit for over 500 homers, career average above .300 and have almost 2500 career hits. When you actually think about those numbers it is absolutely mind boggling haha
A hall fame guy should actually play in the field most of his career
His obp numbers were absolutely absurd as well. His LOWEST obp through his age 29 season was 429. He walked over 100 times a year, hit tanks, and hit for avg.
For some reason he has the reputation of just a dude who hit a lot of homers but he's one of the best and most complete hitters ever. He could do everything, discipline, power, and bat to ball skills.
No other player has more than three straight seasons of .300 BA, 100 H's, 100 RBI, 100 R's, 100 BB's, 20 HR's...and Frank did it SEVEN straight years. Not to mention in the early 90s Big Hurt was #1 on the Beckett Hot List for 34 straight months! If all this is "not enough credit" I don't know what is...
Met Frank Thomas when I was about six years old, right after we got bounced out of the playoffs by the Mariners. He was injured at the time, and he had me touch his arm for good luck. He also tried to convince me that he was actually Carlos Lee, lol. He really made the effort to turn that brief meeting into a special memory for me. Also loved hearing the Hawk on these old broadcasts.
Frank Thomas is pure greatness.
Hearing all the voices of my childhood. What a great time to be a kid.
The Hawk and Wimpy are legends
Love this guy. His eye at the plate was one of the best.
The Big Hurt. One of my favorite players to watch when I was growing up.
You know it’s a bomb just off the sound the ball makes when hit.
Frank he was the greatest chigago white Sox no question about that's Hall Fame
One of the greatest of all time!!! 🖤🤍
His cameo in "Married...with Children" is great. He spins the headline and asks for a break. Director says, "no". Frank grabs a bat and slams it on his hand and goes, "Can I take a break now?" Director immediately says, "Absolutely!" Frank says, "Thanks! Now where's Saberhagen with my lasagna!?"
Frank Thomas was the truth. Not nearly enough people give him credit for being potentially the greatest hitter of his era. Look at his numbers and Bonds's numbers prior to the steroids and they were damned near identical.
Some want the praise, others don’t
Cubs fan, but I have nothing bad to say about Frank Thomas. He played the game the right way. I have nothing but respect for The Big Hurt. He was that good.💜
Frank Thomas Was Albert Pujols Before Albert Pujols Came Into The League In 2001
Chicago sports legend
First career homer off of fellow Hall of Famer Jack Morris.
Amazing.
He is still so underrated
One of the best things about him is he was so dang hard to strike out. I’m a life-long Cubs fan EXCEPT during the Frank Thomas years on the south side. My favourite ball player to this day.
South side 🎉
You’d never teach anyone to hit like Frank Thomas, and yet it’s beautiful to watch to him hit.
This is why baseball has been ruined...the greats find their own way, now it is hammered out of them in little league...every great hitter had their own stance and timing, now nearly all the swings are the same.
One of the best White Sox players in my lifetime. Maybe THE best.
Who the hell can hit a home run with a broken bat??? TOTAL RESPECT!!!!
It's pretty rare but I have seen clips of other players hitting them like Bryce Harper, Mark Teixeira, Andrew Jones and Barry Bonds.
Barry Bonds doesn’t count.
Always was a big fan of Frank, growing up. Cool guy too
He is cool. Still lives in the Chicago area.
I once saw him hit a home run the opposite way at Fenway Park. He's so strong.
No hgh or steroids for the big hurt.. just good ol’ fashioned nugenix
That’s the Charley Lau theory of hitting right there.
Cracks me up half his big shots his back leg is off the ground😂
Just absolutely crazy power. It never felt like he had to put much effort into his swing and the ball would still fly 450 feet.
Honestly, to me, his swing looks like the bat weighs 50 lbs, and as if he struggled to complete the swing. He even moved his body forward to the point his backfoot came off the ground. But just my opinion.
hearing Farmer brings back so many good feels. RIP
He’d knock em out the park and the opposing catcher would congratulate him at home base. That’s the best feeling in the world.
Living in Chicago I had the thrills of watching the BIG HURT 💪
I'm from Chicago he's my favorite player of all time. Hes one of the few players who can hit a Homer on a ball in the opposite batter box
Growing up on the south side of Chicago he is the reason I became a Sox fan
I got Frank The big hurt Thomas’s autograph when he was playing for the Auburn Tigers in the spring of 1985. War Eagle
He is somewhat underrated due to the streriod era and his ego but man he was special.
He not only hit HR but he went deep like over 500ft easily!!
Just got a new Frank Thomas White Sox jersey. Can’t wait to show it off.
Being a Cub fan I just love the “we got wood!” t-shirt @ 2:12. HA
Just a machine an outstanding young ball player
Insane how even late in his career he could be well behind a change or breaking ball and it was still like "lol, ok bai"
My high school teammate right there. He could do it all with the bat. Power, with average, great eye at plate
Nice! Classmates with a legend I wish I could say that
Columbus High School, Columbus Ga
@@coveultimatefishing8937 and coach Bobby Howard who is at pacelli now
@@coveultimatefishing8937 my step brother is on hall of fame wall there as well with the great big hurt
the big hurt goes deep on the big unit !!!
Greatest of all time!!
I miss the old ball parks.
The big man had some fast hands
Broken bat
Fly ball
It’s gone.
Nuff said
Amazing stats, first ballot hall of fame, called for ped testing and stayed clean. Power, average, MVP and contributed some big numbers in limited time in 2005 due to injury. (Championship year.) Was a linebacker at Auburn, and has a statue there. Beloved by home and away fans, as you can tell by the comments. Especially from Cubs fans, and division rivals. One of the most talented players I've ever seen.
One of my favorite players no doubt
Never seen a ball hits that hard!
Griffey is definitely the player of the 90s but in the early 90s Frank was #1 on the Beckett Hot List for 34 straight months!
You can put it on the board! I never heard this before shit is great. I’m a Dodger
If you watch any White Sox highlights you'll probably here that 99% of the time for every home run over the years. Some hate it but it doesn't bother me much I think excitement is great for commentary.
@@h.m.j.a.206 I remember back in the day I had a Sox game on and I bet my homie $20 that if a White Sox player hit a home run that the announcer would do that. I guess he thought it sounded so absurd that he took the bet lol Easiest $20 I've ever made.
@@h.m.j.a.206 I love it brotha. I had scully all these years not complaining. But I appreciate his calls
@@Craig-in1un Easy money 💰 lol I would've done the same especially if I knew every call for every at bat after watching for a while.
@@ShackCrewInc310 Scully is a legend that's voice will be remembered forever whether you like the Dodgers or not. Scully is one of the real voices of baseball.
Most understand guy in Mlb history
Underrated is what I meant to type, darn phone
No worries I knew what you meant lol happens to me all the time
@@h.m.j.a.206 The BIG Hurt, a shame he doesn't get the recognition he deserves
Should have sent Thomas for the inside the park
So underrated
Grand slam straightaway centre over Griffey, so cool.
As a Tigers fan i still just love this dude
You know the balls are juiced today. A man that size crushing the ball and it staying in the park and seldom going upper deck. If he were playing now he’d give exit velocity new meaning and definition.
You can tell Frank Thomas had one of the quickest pitch Lock-on's in MLB History.
1st mlb hit was on WGN-TV Channel 9 in 1990 at County Stadium
Career 974 OPS. 18th best all time. Incredible.
4:08 . The Best ,The Most Articulate !,The One, The Only !!!!!
John Miller !!!
Thank you Sir
One of the ways you know someone is truly great is when he comes to bat and no one gets up to get food or use the bathroom.
That crack sound was so violent!!!!
I have this dude's rookie card in MINT condition and it's worth at least a crisp dollar bill ! Thanks Frank !
As R-Truth said "You're a big, Big, BIG, man-"
the sound the poor bat made when he crushed one!!
Like lightning too w that step
He also hit good pitching better than anyone. The only other player from his era that comes close is Albert Belle.
Ever heard of Tony gwynn
Mo Vaughan
He was the Ted Williams of our time during his first 7 or 8 years ..
you can put it on the booooard yeees!
The only reason I watched this is because my baseball coach calls me frank for frank Thomas
Frank Thomas Barry larkin jose canseco mark mcgwire all time favorite players!!
Best player in Chicago history
The Big Hurt!!!
He’s all upper body too!
Wish he would have played for the Yankees
i prefer his swing over Griffeys
Somebody tell me, was it true that Frank Thomas used to block for Bo Jackson at Auburn University?
😂
#blackdiamondpresscomix🏁2k22 the 1 reason i like the white Sox! Jr.jr🤫
This would be so much better if we didn't have to hear Hawk Harrelson's annoying calls with it
Cry more
1:40 base hit goes on a highlight reel??
Clutch game tying hit
You can put it on the boooooard Frank.
Damn these pitches look sooooo slow
Anybody notice how slender Colon is at 4:20?
I think that was his Rookie year but could be wrong
"She'll like it too"
90s miguel cabrera
Oh he really got a piece j a j
If the alkebuzar killer in reverse did for boxing
And she’ll like it too
I can only take so many of their "You can put it on the booooard, YES" crap. I guess that was the announcer's trademark, or at least he was trying to make it his trademark? Like George Costanza asking to be called T-bone; you gotta let things develop naturally. "Holy Cow" was natural. I really miss the days of Frank Thomas, Ken Griffey Jr, Albert Belle, Juan Gonzalez, Mike Piazza, Kirby Puckett, etc. Once Mcguire, Sosa, and Bonds started the homerun record chase things were just different. Exciting at the time, but one dimensional in retrospect.
Didnt even know the sox didnt wear black and white stripes
Remember the heat 2
Remember not a curse
#JeffFrye, Thomas is not hitting off his front foot.
The big hert
I've got an autographed card if anyone's interested
💀💀💀wow
Leaf
325 your mine🚘
worthy hall of famer. only 3 seasons with an ops over 0.950 after age 29 playing exclusively in the al. just shows how excluding bonds is basically a crime.
the big hurt homers against big sexy bart. colon
