The greatest hitter of the 90's.

Never even a hint of steroids. In fact he was the only active MLB player that offered to testify at the Mitchell hearings on steroid abuse in baseball.

A gentle giant and credit to Auburn University as well as the White Sox.

A well deserved jersey retirement.

Jeff Bagwell is up for the HOF next year (I think) — as Baggie goes, so goes Frank Thomas.

I work with a big Cubs fan that refers to him as ‘The Big Skirt’

He’s a Bears fan, as well....

So, it’s understandable....

First baseball player I ever had a poster of in my room. Good memories, can’t ask for more.

He was a great player with a lot of class. ...even if he did play for the White Sox. Though that’s still better than playing for the Cubs.

11 (Luis Aparicio, though it has been un-retired for the 2010 season for veteran shortstop Omar Vizquel)

Un-retire a number?
