Frank Thomas


On this date in 2007, Frank Thomas hits his 500th career home run.

"I was the one player who was hurt the most. All those years I finished second, third, fourth behind those guys. I probably could have won four more MVPs." - on playing with players who took steroids

I'm a big fan of Frank Thomas, but I checked and he would have won 1 additional MVP. In 2000 he came in second to Jason Giambi. But the other years that he came didn't win but was in the top 5 he lost to Cal Ripken Jr., Ken Griffey Jr, and Justin Morneau. So I think for him to say he would have won 4 more MVP's is a little out there.

Good research Daniel. One additional MVP. Four additional MVPs. Doesn't matter to me. The guy is a first ballot hall of famer in my book (and of course in Cooperstown's as well).
