Frank Thomas Biography

Frank Thomas, a celebrated name in the world of baseball, made his mark early on with his induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2014. Known for his profound skills, he was a 5-time All-Star from 1993 to 1997 and a 2-time AL MVP in 1993 and 1994. Thomas also received acclaim as a 4-time Silver Slugger Award winner and was the AL batting champion in 1997. His distinctive contributions to the Chicago White Sox are commemorated by the retirement of his No. 35 and the unveiling of a statue at U.S. Cellular Field in 2011.

Thomas further distinguished himself as an advocate for drug testing, even being interviewed for the Mitchell Report in 2007. As a testament to his extraordinary abilities, he holds franchise records for the White Sox in categories including career home runs, RBI, runs, doubles, extra base hits, walks, slugging average, and on-base percentage. Additionally, he made waves in the media world with appearances in the 1992 film "Mr. Baseball", the 1994 episode of "Married With Children", and the video game "Frank Thomas Big Hurt Baseball" released in 1995.

In recent years, Thomas has continued to contribute to the baseball community, serving as a guest analyst during TBS's coverage of the 2007 MLB playoffs and joining Apple TV+'s "Friday Night Baseball" as an occasional interviewer and color commentator in 2023. As an entrepreneur, he has launched several business ventures, including Big Hurt Beer in 2011 and the sports bar 35. Thomas also purchased a controlling interest in Go The Distance Baseball, owner of the Field of Dreams, in 2021, reflecting his ongoing engagement with and passion for the sport.
