This Big Som'bitch Wants To Cure Your Turbo-Malo:

hey Bill-0... you awake?  quit sleeping, son...

Thomas played first base during the early part of his career and was not known for his defense. He never won a Gold Glove at the position, and has played primarily as a designated hitter since turning 30 years old. Rather, Thomas is known for his offensive performance; some regard him as one of the best pure hitters in baseball's history. Thomas is the only player in major league history to have seven consecutive seasons of a .300 average, and at least 100 walks, 100 runs, 100 runs batted in, and 20 home runs (from 1991 to 1997). The only other player to have more than five consecutive seasons accomplishing this feat was Ted Williams with six. This accomplishment is even more remarkable considering that despite playing only 113 games in 1994, due to the labor stoppage which curtailed that season prematurely, he still was able to attain these lofty numbers, thereby keeping the streak alive. Additionally, there are only five players in history who have both hit more home runs and have a higher career batting average than Thomas (Hank Aaron, Jimmie Foxx, Mel Ott, Babe Ruth, and Ted Williams).

Does Frank Thomas strike out a lot?  Is Thomas an asshole in the clubhouse?  Yes, and maybe.  Never met the guy.  But I do know that Barry Bonds was an asshole, is an asshole and will be an asshole.  His assholishness tends to overshadow all else.  LL dwellers have been praying at the BB altar for some time now, so, yeah.  FFT, y'all.
