Bye bye Frank. Thanks for everything. Dude seriously might be the most underrated player of all time. :notworthy :notworthy

Lucky for us he never played east of the Hudson, for the Cubs, or for a team in LA, where he'd have been (justifiably) hyped to no end.

Thank you, Frank, for being the premier "stop and watch" player in all of baseball in the early 90's.

Thank you, Frank, for the boost you provided to the Sox in the middle of 2005.

Thank you, Frank, for being so vocal against PED's when no one else was.

 

Enjoy your induction into the Hall Of Fame!

 

Good Ol' #35

Frank was the biggest reason I became a Sox fan as a young child, and I'm sure quite a few other posters here would express similar thoughts. The best player in Sox history, by a large margin. Get the hall of fame bust ready, get the statue ready, get the number retirement ceremony ready, etc etc. It's a sad day today, even though we've known he's really been retired for a long time now.

My first baseball memory was me being 2 years old, sitting near home plate at my first Sox game, and Frank launching one out of the park.

 

For years, I swore it went out of the whole park.

 

I think part of me always wished Frank would come back last year or this and suddenly become Big Hurt again. That would have been amazing.

 

Three years to Cooperstown big guy, and the Sox better retire #35 and put a statue out there opening day.

 

Edit: Frank was only an All-Star 5 times? That's a shame.
