    Does Frank Thomas belong in the Hall of Fame?

    With the retirement announcement of Frank Thomas in the media, many are putting in their two cents worth regarding whether he's a hall of fame candidate or not since he spent most of his career as a DH. Personally, I think that thought is a joke. He was one of the most feared hitters of the 1990's.

    Being a Twins fan, he was always feared by our team, and I always held my breath with him at bat. I was surprised to see he was only a five-time all-star during his 19(?)-year career.
    NFL 17: 45-47-2 // 48.91% // -10.12
    MMA: 247-332-2 // 42.66% // -6.04
    MLB 17: 151-140-8 // 51.89% // +5.65 ROR // +42.13
    NCAAF 17: 63-49-2 // 56.25% // +6.80

      I think he hurt his image and/or made people forget how good he once was by playing at least 5 years too long and that may hinder his chances.

        500+ hrs, .300+ lifetime batting average... never linked to steroids... my fave player growing up.. it'd be a sin for him not to be a first ballot HOF
