The school of Charley Lau turned out Frank Thomas.

At Auburn: By the end of his junior baseball season he had hit 19 home runs, 19 doubles, and batted .403 with a slugging percentage of .801. He earned Southeastern Conference MVP honors his senior year. Thomas concluded his college career with 49 home runs, a school record.

When did Frank start hitting with the Charlie Lau style of swing? He didn't have it at the beginning of his Sox career did he?

he was a very good hitter, period. i remember the hype surrounding him in the minors was exciting. when he came up, anyone can tell he was going to be very good.

 

i also remember the down side of what to do with him b/c of his defense.

 

i like to believe that CL just made his better and consistent, for the long haul.
