THE GREATEST offensive player in White Sox history will be on the ballot next year.
I was watching MLB network during their HOF special last night and they were discussing next year's potential HOFers. At that moment, I realized how much of a ****ing jackass idiot Mitch Williams really is. Personally I think Frank Thomas is a without question a first-ballot HOFer. Offensive machine and has no links to the PED scandal. Only player who VOLUNTEERED to testify in front of Congress several years back. He never hit 50 homers in a single season. If a guy like Frank who already had the natural body size and hitting ability took PEDs he would have easily topped 60-70 homers in a season. What "wild thing" had to say almost floored me. If I literally had something nearby to throw, I would have broken my flat screen. He basically said that Frank has no links to PEDs "that we know of" (he said it in a very suspicious tone) and that there's no way Frank Thomas gets voted in because voters are going to look at his body size and assume that he was using PEDs. But enough about that *******. What do you think about Frank's impending induction? Will he get voted in? Also how many of you are planning a trip to Cooperstown next year to represent the White Sox?

If Frank gets in, I will make my first trip to Cooperstown. Easily the best hitter I've ever seen.

Frank will be a Hall of Famer. If he was a Yankee, he would be a first ballot winner.

I think you're blowing Williams's comments totally out of proportion. He wasn't implying that he would be suspicious, but that the writers will be. And after seeing how they voted on Piazza and Bagwell this year, would it really shock anyone if Thomas didn't get in next year?

With that said, I still think it's completely ludicrous that he would insinuate that the voters would "look at his body size" to decide that he possibly used PEDs and because of that doesn't deserve to be voted in next year. Especially when there is more evidence to the contrary. |

If Frank Thomas isn't a HOFer, no one should get in ever again.
Arguably the best clean hitter since Ted Williams.

I don't know, it seems like the consensus is that being a Yankee has worked against a lot of players . Bernie Williams, Mattingly, etc.

Quite right. Joe Dimaggio, Yogi Berra, and Whitey Ford all failed in their first attempt at the HOF.

Frank, Maddux and Glavine will all be first ballot HOF'ers. Biggio makes it next year too.

As for Big Hurt, I think he'll be voted in by his 3rd year on the ballot. Phenomenal hitter.

It would be a shame if Frank does not get voted in on the first ballot. He is one of the best hitters ever to play baseball.
Funny to think a guy like Ron Santo is worthy of the Hall of Fame, and next year writers could say Frank is not yet worthy. Crazy world we live in. |

No question, a first ballot HOFer. I happily told him that last year while getting his autograph at Soxfest and he smiled like I think he's anticipating that, too.

If Frank doesn't make the HOF on the first ballot they should shut the ****er down.
I actually think he will be helped by the fact he was a clean player in a dirty era.

I will burn with the fury of a thousand suns if Frank does not get inducted next year. Any writer who does not vote for him (or Maddux, for that matter) ought to have his/her eyeballs gouged with flaming pokers.
