Re: So long Big Hurt.
He was one of the best right handed hitters i saw play.
I would be shocked if he came up dirty...Comment

Re: So long Big Hurt.
Frank was one of the few players who was ready to lead the charge against PED's before the issue exploded so hopefully we will never hear his name outed on any lists.
Watching the Big Hurt crush the ball was the only reason to watch the White Sox for most of the 1990's. He was definitely one of my favorite players, i think i may even still have his 1990 Topps rookie card.Comment

Re: So long Big Hurt.
I'll miss him. I was a HUGE proponent of the Twins signing him the year he ended up with Oakland. We could have gotten him for the freaking league minimum. What did he do that year? Oh - only crush us in the playoffs with a two-homer performance in the Dome. He also hit his 500th home run in the Dome and got a standing O. Even though he will always be remembered for killing the Twins, I will miss him. Great career - I would be genuinely surprised and would probably disown all Steroid Era baseball if he turns out to be dirty. In my mind, him and Griffey Jr. are the only thing keeping that time of baseball relevant.Comment

Re: So long Big Hurt.
Good, I hope he comes back to the White Sox and gets a job doing something off-field.Comment

Re: So long Big Hurt.
Had a life size cutout of him on my wall as a kid. Probably have every baseball card from his first 7 or 8 years. Him and Maddux were my favorite hitter and pitcher growing up as a kid...maybe they'll be in the same hall class....not sure how that works with Frank hangining them up mid year. Had he stayed healthy for a few of those years in the early 2000's, he'd be one of the greatest hitters ever, though he's still one of the greatest right handed hitters of the last 50 years...600 HR's would have been a given had he stayed healthy.
.301, 521 HR's, back to back MVP's, .974 OPS.Comment

Re: So long Big Hurt.
dang its hard to see him go. He was a best for the White Sox and his swing was so unorthodox that it look like he was barely hitting the ball but boy did it carry when he did!!!
Sure book HOF'er in my book.
AND THANK YOU FOR NOT USING STERIODS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
