Frank Thomas is a Baseball Hall of Famer and a Chicago White Sox legend, but a new book says that he wasn't among the favorites in the clubhouse.
Former Chicago White Sox first baseman and designated hitter Frank Thomas #35 holds up his soon to be retired uniform number during a press conference to announce his retirement from Major League baseball on February 12, 2010 at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago, Illinois. Thomas played 16 years for the White Sox, from 1990 to 2005
Pearlman's sentiments come from the words of a former White Sox player who was teammates with Thomas. "‘Frank was a d-----bag,’ said one Chicago standout. ‘I judge people by how they treat those they don’t need to be nice to. Frank treated the clubhouse guys like garbage.'" The book also notes a time when the Sox wanted him to bat fifth in the batting order, but Lance Johnson said he"refused."
Lance Johnson #1, Frank Thomas #35 and Bo Jackson #8 of the Chicago White Sox stands for the National Anthem prior to the start of an Major League Baseball game circa 1991 at Comiskey Park in Chicago, Illinois. Thomas played for the White Sox from 1990 - 05."I heard that and thought ‘There goes our shot at the World Series.’ Because everyone would just pitch around him, Which they did," Johnson told Pearlman, adding he was"just a baby.
