Big swing and a miss from Inquisie! As Frank Thomas (who probably was clean, but nobody is above suspicion) got older, his numbers slowly declined and he became injured a lot more. He did not struggle mightily, change teams at ~30 years old, then all of a sudden put up numbers better than anybody in the history of the game like your boy Jake has.

I'd say try again, but it appears you have already struck out in this thread. Probably best to just lick your wounds and try again tomorrow.

anyone may have used (maddux, sandberg, Thomas), but only some definitely used (sosa, McGwire, arrieta)

I don't remember frank that lean..good find inquiz, its only natural to gain 10-30 lbs from the age of 20-21 -30-31.

The before after pic of Franks speaks for it self. He was never small, but he gained A LOT of size and muscle.


He may have been clean. We'll never know.

There is a reason why he didn't choose any of the pictures of Frank batting in the minors.

Im not sure what you're laughing at.

He is undeniably way bigger and muscular in A's picture and it has nothing to do with the pose.

It has everything to do with the pose.

There are plenty of pictures of him batting in the minors where he looks nearly as big. I even posted one from Auburn.

You are going to look smaller with your arm down like that and not flexed.

Again, dont care if he did them or not. He may or may not have. But to deny that he added significant size and muscle is silly.

Case closed.

You're in denial. Ill bet if you ask Frank himself, he would tell you he added a lot of muscle (through legit workouts) and size throughout his career

Yes, my post above yours of him batting on the White Sox 14 years apart pretty much makes your "he didnt change body types" stance pretty ridiculous.

I found a picture that was very similar to your picture of older Frank and he looks roughly the same even with him simply posing for the photo. He looks a little stronger in the older one but obviously that can happen.

Just like THE INQUISITOR, you have chosen to compare him with his arms in a completely different position.

The reason Texas and Toronto aren't top is because the Sox shut both of them down. It's early in the season, a bad 3 game stretch can drop you halfway down league in a lot of categories.

Frank needed big arms to hold up a certain trophy

Well, you can't blame yesterday's (7th straight now) loss on the pitching. It was their impotent offense.

That reminds me of a joke....why did the Black guy wear a 3 piece suit to his vasectomy?

He figured if he was going to be impotent, he ought to look impotent!
