Is anyone going to the Frank Thomas book signing in Naperville tonight? Frank doesn't seem to make too many appearances in Chicago and the book sounds like something I'd be interested in. On the other hand, it's in Naperville and I don't want racist Ugie to meet me at the border with a noose. |

Does the book have a chapter on his steroid use? |

I don't think he took steroids, but I don't blame others for suspecting. |

I'd be there in a heartbeat if I had transportation. Frank doesn't do this often, so it would be a good time to meet the best Sox player ever. |

Bringing guys up that are on trial for perjury and one who was caught using a corked bat is really helping your case here.

Excuse me if I dont take "Steroids are bad and I never took them" as Gospel |

You gonna implicate Greg Maddux next?? |

Only Frank knows if he took steroids or not. At the very least, he was smart enough not to get caught. |

RPB, you're crazy. Suspecting one of the best power hitters of the steroid era was juicing...c'mon now! |

So let me get this straight... Just because Frank Thomas can't prove he didn't take steroids means that he is actually guilty of taking them? If that's the case, then everyone else in this thread is a murderer. |

The thing that strikes me as most inconsistent about Frank and steroids is that he played SEC football in the late 80s. I'd be shocked if someone wasn't on steroids in that era. So we are to believe that Frank was involved in 2 sports at some of the highest levels available, both had rampant steriod problems, that steroids probably would have helped his play without being specifically banned by the sports but he chose not to take them. That would be a young man of incredibly high intergrity. |
