Just A Reminder: Frank Thomas Never Used Steroids, Was Actually Still Quite Goodby Ricky O'Donnell on January 13, 2010 at 2:11AM
 Mark McGwire admitted to using steroids on Monday. Forgive him, don't forgive, whatever, who cares. If you're really pissed about this though, my advice to you would be to chillax, possibly by listening to some chillwave bands. This isn't startling, and it hardly should be considered this big of a deal. Mark McGwire used steroids? Next you're going to tell me that Natalie Gulbis isn't a professional D.C. tour guide. It's pretty clear at this point that nearly everyone in the mid-to-late 90's voluntarily decided to destroy their testicles - hitters, pitchers, fielders, Don Zimmer - you know, everyone. Everyone, that is, besides for The Big Hurt. On Monday's SportsCenter, John Kruk complained about how even the stats of non-steroid abusing guys from the Steroid Era now look worse. It's a good point, especially from someone has fat as John Kruk. But that doesn't apply to Thomas, one of the only guys from that era we can definitively say didn't juice. If anything, Thomas' numbers only look more insane now. How good was Frank? Joe Posnanski puts The Big Hurt in some historical perspective. Better than Albert Pujols and Willie Mays. For the first seven years, at least. Still, that's kind of nuts. |

Mariotti still doesn't think he is first ballot material
I couldn't agree more. I am not a Sox fan, but the big Hurt was a great player and a class act (contrary to popular belief). I'm not 100% certain about anyone not doing 'roids in the 90s, but Thomas is the closest.
Big Huge Sox fan! Love the big Hurt, but I could never say anyone from that era was not using. Put an asterisk on the entire era and let them in the hall. Honestly - was the most fun baseball ever was.
If I had to bet on a guy being clean it's Thomas. I've done 5 cycles myself, for what it's worth. My immediate thought on hearing his retirement was first ballot. Then I ran over the numbers kinda quick. That guy was a monster for a nice stretch. I remember thinking back during those MVP years that maybe this will be the guy to make a run at 60 hrs. Watch, Frank Thomas' numbers are only gonna get better once this 'roid static finally plays out. Bonus points for one of the better modern baseball nicknames:)
Everyone, that is, besides for The Big Hurt.
