Balta1701 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Can't wait to see it. Still hoping it's of him standing at the plate staring at the pitcher with the bat just above his shoulder. That's how I'll always think of him. You can just imagine the panic going through that pitcher's mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasttriptotulsa Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 I would love to see it be his swing right at the point of contact with his back foot about a foot off the ground. That would be pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEdWalsh Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Wow, this is great. Can't wait to see it though that will have to wait about a year to see it in person. Maybe by then there'll be the Terry Bevington statue commemorating the greatest White Sox manager ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulstar Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Frank was one of my favorite players and arguably the best right handed hitter of all time in his prime when he was mainly an opposite field hitter. The only other right handed hitters that could compare would be Hornsby and Jimmie Foxx (I'm not including McGuire and Bagwell is suspect).

You also can't leave Hank Aaron out. The guy gets so little love for as great as he was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
