Last Friday, I continued the impressive statistics that White Sox slugger Frank Thomas put up during his career, mostly with the Sox.
I continue:
4------ Number of times Thomas led the American League in on-base percentage. He also finished second and third once and fourth twice.
12----- Number of offensive categories in which Thomas is the all-time White Sox leader.
32----- Career stolen bases (he was caught 23 times). His career high was 7 in 1998. Ok, he wasn't a speed demon on the bases.
2------ Players who drove in at least 100 runs in each of their first eight full major league seasons. The other is Al Simmons from 1924-1934.
3------ Passes caught as a freshman at Auburn University where he attended on a football scholarship while playing tight end in 1986.
15----- The uniform number Thomas wore briefly before taking #35 for good.
970---- Number of games played at Comiskey Park (including as an opponent). Hit 263 homers, 746 RBIs, a .313 batting average and .433 on-base percentage.
1------ The number of autographs my nephew Andy got on Thomas' rookie card.
These Are Definitely Hall of Fame Worthy Stats. And, I Am Not Finished Yet. --RoadDog
STUPID QUESTIONS: If the professor on "Gilligan's Island" can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix the hole in the Minnow?
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
