ChicagoSportsBlogs : Non Compete

I fully expected Frank Thomas to hit his 500th home run against the White Sox. That's how down I am on the Sox this season. Why not? Is it so far fetched to believe that the man who was the face of the organization for most of my lifetime would come back to the Cell and crack a dinger off of Matt Thorton? I don't think so. Thankfully, Big Frank did what any true Sox fan would be proud of, regardless of The Big Hurt's affiliation with the Blue Jays this season - he hit it off the Twins. That's justice. It was Frank's 50th home run against the Twins in his career. (the most he has hit off of any other team he has faced) I opened the Trib today and saw the list of teams that Frank has punished in his lifetime and was smiling ear to ear. Frank's top 3 victims were the Twins, Indians, and the Tigers. You have to love that Sox fans. Regardless of the bad times we experienced because Frank was a tad salty to the media (on occasion - too frequent actually), he will forever be a White Sox player. I guess he'll also be salty for awhile too...he did get tossed from the game in the 9th inning for arguing balls and strikes. Good ole Frank - he knows the strike zone better than anyone. Take that walk big guy!

Anyway - I wanted to get something posted this morning to say Congrats to the Big Hurt. I look forward to his Hall of Fame induction in the coming years.
