the anti-Yankees sentiment.

I've always hated those damn Yankees , and what they did to my beloved Phillies in October didn't help the situation.

Frank Thomas called it a career
So after 19 yrs and 532 HR and i think around 2000 hits is he a hall of famer?

Pretty good numbers but I don't think they are worthy of the Hall.

At one time hiting 500 HR was an automatic ticket to Copperstown, The only thing that would stop me from voting for him would be if it came out he was on roids

Frank Thomas has been one of MLB's more vocal anti-steroids players over the past decade or so. I think pretty much everyone would be stunned if his name was to be tarnished by a roids scandal.

I always thought fans and reporters saw him as a definite future Hall of Famer, especially if he made it to 500 HR.

OK his career average fell approx. 20 points to .301 during the 'noughties', but that surely won't count against him when the voters see his name on the ballot.

His number is being retired by the White Sox in August. How many players with retired numbers have failed to become Hall of Famers?

Big Frank should be a first-ballot Hall of Famer.

I would be shocked to hear his name being linked to steroids, but I guess stranger things have happened(such as A-Roid finally performing in the Playoffs...unfortunately).

I'm not sure how I would vote, but I am pretty sure the real voters will not select Frank Thomas.
