Frank Thomas (The Big Hurt) Highlight Reel 

Growing up a kid in the 90s, it was Frank Thomas and Ken Griffey Jr. who were my Baseball heroes. The Big Hurt was so damned good.

No hgh or steroids. 521 all natural homeruns. All the while never swinging for homeruns. Batting avg 301. Great eye Drew alot of walks.

Frank Thomas is pure greatness.

Dude would have had 800 hrs if he didn't care about avg and being an all around stat machine, he was my favorite ballplayer growing up.

I don't think Frank Thomas gets enough credit as to how amazing of a hitter he actually was. Being able to hit for over 500 homers, career average above .300 and have almost 2500 career hits. When you actually think about those numbers it is absolutely mind boggling haha

his swing is beautiful. so much power on that weight transfer yet he hit 301 for his career. Career ops of 974. crazy

Hearing all the voices of my childhood. What a great time to be a kid.

Met Frank Thomas when I was about six years old, right after we got bounced out of the playoffs by the Mariners. He was injured at the time, and he had me touch his arm for good luck. He also tried to convince me that he was actually Carlos Lee, lol. He really made the effort to turn that brief meeting into a special memory for me. Also loved hearing the Hawk on these old broadcasts.

One of the greatest of all time!!! 🖤🤍

The Big Hurt. One of my favorite players to watch when I was growing up.

He is still so underrated

Love this guy. His eye at the plate was one of the best.

You know it’s a bomb just off the sound the ball makes when hit.

Frank he was the greatest chigago white Sox no question about that's Hall Fame

First career homer off of fellow Hall of Famer Jack Morris. Amazing.

Cubs fan, but I have nothing bad to say about Frank Thomas. He played the game the right way. I have nothing but respect for The Big Hurt. He was that good.💜

You’d never teach anyone to hit like Frank Thomas, and yet it’s beautiful to watch to him hit.

His cameo in "Married...with Children" is great. He spins the headline and asks for a break. Director says, "no". Frank grabs a bat and slams it on his hand and goes, "Can I take a break now?" Director immediately says, "Absolutely!" Frank says, "Thanks! Now where's Saberhagen with my lasagna!?"

Always was a big fan of Frank, growing up. Cool guy too

One of the best things about him is he was so dang hard to strike out. I’m a life-long Cubs fan EXCEPT during the Frank Thomas years on the south side. My favourite ball player to this day.

hearing Farmer brings back so many good feels. RIP

One of the best White Sox players in my lifetime. Maybe THE best.

Cracks me up half his big shots his back leg is off the ground😂

Who the hell can hit a home run with a broken bat??? TOTAL RESPECT!!!!

I once saw him hit a home run the opposite way at Fenway Park. He's so strong.

the big hurt goes deep on the big unit !!!

That’s the Charley Lau theory of hitting right there.

Frank Thomas was the truth. Not nearly enough people give him credit for being potentially the greatest hitter of his era. Look at his numbers and Bonds's numbers prior to the steroids and they were damned near identical.

No hgh or steroids for the big hurt.. just good ol’ fashioned nugenix

The big man had some fast hands

Career 974 OPS. 18th best all time. Incredible.

Just absolutely crazy power. It never felt like he had to put much effort into his swing and the ball would still fly 450 feet.

He is somewhat underrated due to the streriod era and his ego but man he was special.

Never seen a ball hits that hard!

I'm from Chicago he's my favorite player of all time. Hes one of the few players who can hit a Homer on a ball in the opposite batter box

Just got a new Frank Thomas White Sox jersey. Can’t wait to show it off.

He’d knock em out the park and the opposing catcher would congratulate him at home base. That’s the best feeling in the world.

I got Frank The big hurt Thomas’s autograph when he was playing for the Auburn Tigers in the spring of 1985. War Eagle

Chicago sports legend

Just a machine an outstanding young ball player

One of my favorite players no doubt

So underrated

Living in Chicago I had the thrills of watching the BIG HURT 💪

I miss the old ball parks.

As a Tigers fan i still just love this dude

Growing up on the south side of Chicago he is the reason I became a Sox fan

1st mlb hit was on WGN-TV Channel 9 in 1990 at County Stadium

Insane how even late in his career he could be well behind a change or breaking ball and it was still like "lol, ok bai"

Most understand guy in Mlb history

Grand slam straightaway centre over Griffey, so cool.

Amazing stats, first ballot hall of fame, called for ped testing and stayed clean. Power, average, MVP and contributed some big numbers in limited time in 2005 due to injury. (Championship year.) Was a linebacker at Auburn, and has a statue there. Beloved by home and away fans, as you can tell by the comments. Especially from Cubs fans, and division rivals. One of the most talented players I've ever seen.

Being a Cub fan I just love the “we got wood!” t-shirt @ 2:12. HA

Like lightning too w that step

My high school teammate right there. He could do it all with the bat. Power, with average, great eye at plate

That crack sound was so violent!!!!

One of the ways you know someone is truly great is when he comes to bat and no one gets up to get food or use the bathroom.

Griffey is definitely the player of the 90s but in the early 90s Frank was #1 on the Beckett Hot List for 34 straight months!

the sound the poor bat made when he crushed one!!

Broken bat Fly ball It’s gone. Nuff said

You can put it on the board! I never heard this before shit is great. I’m a Dodger

The Big Hurt!!!

I have this dude's rookie card in MINT condition and it's worth at least a crisp dollar bill ! Thanks Frank !

As R-Truth said "You're a big, Big, BIG, man-"

You know the balls are juiced today. A man that size crushing the ball and it staying in the park and seldom going upper deck. If he were playing now he’d give exit velocity new meaning and definition.

you can put it on the booooard yeees!

He also hit good pitching better than anyone. The only other player from his era that comes close is Albert Belle.

Best player in Chicago history

He was the Ted Williams of our time during his first 7 or 8 years ..

Should have sent Thomas for the inside the park

Frank Thomas Barry larkin jose canseco mark mcgwire all time favorite players!!

4:08 . The Best ,The Most Articulate !,The One, The Only !!!!! John Miller !!!

He’s all upper body too!

Wish he would have played for the Yankees

i prefer his swing over Griffeys

And she’ll like it too

"She'll like it too"

You can put it on the boooooard Frank.

Oh he really got a piece j a j

90s miguel cabrera

The big hert

Remember not a curse

💀💀💀wow

#blackdiamondpresscomix🏁2k22 the 1 reason i like the white Sox! Jr.jr🤫

325 your mine🚘

If the alkebuzar killer in reverse did for boxing

Blue

This would be so much better if we didn't have to hear Hawk Harrelson's annoying calls with it

Leaf

Somebody tell me, was it true that Frank Thomas used to block for Bo Jackson at Auburn University?

#JeffFrye, Thomas is not hitting off his front foot.

Justsenatex

the big hurt homers against big sexy bart. colon

1:40 base hit goes on a highlight reel??

I've got an autographed card if anyone's interested

Another small mistake made but it's fine.....

I can only take so many of their "You can put it on the booooard, YES" crap. I guess that was the announcer's trademark, or at least he was trying to make it his trademark? Like George Costanza asking to be called T-bone; you gotta let things develop naturally. "Holy Cow" was natural. I really miss the days of Frank Thomas, Ken Griffey Jr, Albert Belle, Juan Gonzalez, Mike Piazza, Kirby Puckett, etc. Once Mcguire, Sosa, and Bonds started the homerun record chase things were just different. Exciting at the time, but one dimensional in retrospect.
