SoxFan1 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 It really is. I was absolutely schocked that he was boo'd. And reading some of the signs, sickening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 This is honestly one of the most classless displays from a group of fans that I have ever see. This is how you repay a man for carrying your baseball team for a decade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tealeafreaderii Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 We weren't too nice to Maggs but then again... them booing Thome would be more along the lines of us booing big frank (and if any of you guys boo big frank, you can expect my beer to be dumped on your head) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Poor Thome. http://whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/ar...t=.jsp&c_id=cws In an article titled: Former Indian returns T-home Fan favorite makes first appearance at Jacobs Field "Obviously, I have a ton of memories here," Thome said. "To me, [the reaction] will be nice either way, because it's great to be here and seeing all the people you spent a lot of years seeing."

I'm not shocked by it. Who cares really? I mean, I wouldn't be one to boo, but people who are going to be booing Frank are probably guys who are mad about Thome being booed.

WCSox Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 They should be booing their own team for sucking so badly over the past week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHarris1 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Ya like Maggs really did as much as Thome did for their respective franchises... And like Thome really left by b****ing out his manager and organization Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Maggs and Thome have nothing to do with each other at all. If Maggs kept his mouth shut when he left, he would have been cheered. Jimmy was nothing but a class act for that organization and they boo him. Horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 No doubt, the fans reaction has played a huge part in his success (or lack there of) today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevHead0881 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 If Thome left whining like Maggs and Frank did, I'd have little problem with him being booed. But from what I remember, Thome had a rather peaceful departure, and he's about as classy a player as they come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinningUgly85 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 It's a shame. I mean I don't recall ever hearing jim leaving on bad terms with cleveland. All I'm thinking now what team jim thome is going to put on his HOF plaque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may receive it, but he hasn't earned it. Oversensitive or not, Frank Thomas was the greatest offensive force in White Sox history, and if people boo that, I just think they're wrong.

bjm676 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I thought the booing of Thome was absolute classless as well. As for comparing him to Maggs, as far I know Thome never ripped the Indians or anything like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Classles actions by Indians fans. This guy was basically not re-signed by your club, he carried you for many seasons, is one of the best guys in baseball and still makes his home in your city, which is one of the worst cities in America. Seriously, f*** you cleveland fans. Classless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleveland fans look like jackasses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
