Frank Thomas on Jim Rome's Radio Show

[shoota]

Thomas talks about the loose clubhouse in Oakland and how much he enjoyed that clubhouse.

 

Thomas mentioned how much hitting 500 home runs means to him, and the warm response he received from the Minnesota Twins' fans who cheered when he hit it.

 

Rome had a good knowledge of what went on during Thomas's time in Chicago, asking a really good question: "Some things were said on both sides when you left Chicago...are you going to have a good feeling about the years that you had in Chicago with the White Sox, or might there always be something of a bitter taste in your mouth because of the way it ended?"

 

Thomas said his time with the Sox wasn't bitter, but the breakup was. He said we fans deserved much better than the way it ended.

 

Talks a little about the Toronto team.

 

Rome asked him about the Hall of Fame and notes what a great resume Thomas has.

 

After Thomas left, Rome said he thinks Thomas is a Hall of Famer already.

Um, his career with the White Sox ended after the 2005 season. We won a World Series in 2005. Though Frank did not contribute much other than a ridiculous display of power over a three-week span and those two have nothing to do with each other.... I was quite happy with the way it ended.

I think by using the word, "breakup" Thomas was referring to front office relationships and how he went to Oakland after the 2005 season, not anything to do with his or his team's play on the field.
