Feigning a taste for Skyline chili when he's in Cincinnati is just so Peter King. When he's in New Orleans, he gets gumbo; when he's in Baltimore, he has to have a crab cake; when he's in Chicago, he hides his disgust for the cheese and tomato stew in a bread boule they call pizza; when he's he Cleveland, he pays top…
Ten Things I Wish I Shat.
What?! Reading your own team's is the best. That's the part I am the most excited for each year!

" I also grew up a Cubs fan."
hung on too long? he was 4th in mvp voting in...2007
"I cannot help but to feel that the Hall of Very Good is where Thomas should have ended up."
If you think a career .301/.419 OBP/.555 SLG slashline with 500+ HRs and more walks than strikeouts is "very good" and not HOF-worthy, you need to stop watching baseball and maybe follow a sport you can understand.
"I'm sorry."
willingness to sign autos ≠ hall worthiness
and not for nothing: he could have retired after his first ten years and been a HOF (321 ba, 440 obp, 1.018 ops). For 5 year stretch, he was downright mythical, drawing comparisons to ted williams.

Frank Thomas is no doubt hall of fame player. Take a look at his strike season, it was immortal one in the making except he didn't get to finish.

Now....I'm a bad ass who will kick the ass of any man who lays a hand on a woman I know..but now...I can't be every where at once so...women.. it's up to you to protect yourself. Now look...I'll beat their ass..believe that..but unfortunately ..your ass might already be beaten and though they will get their ass beat…
He was TOTALLY pushed to his boiling point! She is a total instigator! We know this because... Wait. All we know is that he punched a woman and knocked her unconscious.
"Bonds had four sacrifice hits in his career."
Four hats were also sacrificed during his career due to some unusual head circumference increases.
Who else besides Tara Reid was up for Bunny?
