As a lifelong White Sox and Chicago sports fan, I am the first to admit that Frank Thomas was not always a pleasant guy... but neither was Michael Jordan. There are countless stories from insiders and non insiders that attest to that fact.

The difference is Frank has redeemed himself in the city after a less than favorable departure a few years back. He has admitted this and has spent the last couple of years making amends and fixing a lot of wrongs. He is beloved and is our guy on the south side. As far as him roiding back in the day.. l'm not certain but I doubt it.

I'm happy for him and think he deserves every bit of recognition he receives. He has brought a lot of joy to Sox fans during his tenure here. Go Sox!
