American Hall of Famer nicknamed 'The Big Hurt' whose imposing 6'5" frame, exceptional plate discipline and sustained power production made him one of the most feared first basemen in American League history.
Frank Thomas, known as 'The Big Hurt', is one of the greatest power hitters in baseball history, the only player to win back-to-back AL MVP awards unanimously (1993 and 1994). His exceptional combination of power and patience — he produced both 40-homer seasons and .400 on-base percentages — was unprecedented. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2014 with one of the highest vote percentages in history.
