WSoxMatt Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 (edited) As the Sox arrived at their hotel in Cleveland, none other than Frank Thomas was there to greet and congratulate every one of his teammates with a party favor hanging out of his mouth as they got off the team busses. He flew in to celebrate Thursday night with the boys!!! Way to go Frank, Im sure this gesture will go a long way with your teammates!!!

kapkomet Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 This is one thing that is sad about all of this. I really wish Frank would have been more a part of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 That is quite awesome. What was the party favor? A cigar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSoxMatt Posted September 30, 2005 Author Share Posted September 30, 2005 Frank brought with him 20 bottles of $100+ champaign!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 What a midseason boost Frank was... 12 homers, 26 knocked in, 16 BBs, a .905 OPS. Would be real nice right now to not have a problem in the three spot, and have #35 right there -- but that doesn't take away from how much he helped this team in his short time. Thanks, Frank.

GoodAsGould Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Yeah his avg. was on the low side but man just seeing him in the lineup made you feel more comfortable. He is such a giant compared to the other players its crazy. I wish I wated the sox more in the 90's when he was at his best but I still will have many memories of 35.

WSoxMatt Posted September 30, 2005 Author Share Posted September 30, 2005 In his Prime he was the best hitter in baseball, every time he came up, you knew he would drive em in or get on base!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanne Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Ya know...I was gonna start a thread when I got home (thought of this at my son's little league game tonight)....but was wondering amidst all the celebration...just how Frank was feeling about all of this. You know he's happy for his teammates....but it has to just tear his guts out not being a part of it. Almost makes you wonder if he tried to come back too soon. The guy given his all to this franchise...and it's a shame he's not a bigger part of it. Here's hoping he's back next year for a second consecutive division championship by the Sox.

Here's hoping he's back next year for a second consecutive division championship by the Sox. i would give anything to see him back here next year. and i hope beyond hope that KW, JR and Ozzie realize that the ENTIRE fanbase (save a couple) want that too. we gotta win this for the big man! oh and i cant help but dream about this scenario: 2 outs, bottom of the 9th, game 7 of the world series, tie game. Frank Thomas pinch hitting.... then that home run to win it all. oh my god. orgasm. too bad it probably cant happen - but thats what dreams are for.
