Thomas (b. 1968) played in the majors from 1990 to 2008 for the White Sox, A's and Blue Jays. He had 2,468 career hits, 521 home runs and a .301 batting average. Thomas was the 1993 and 1994 AL MVP. His total of 521 home runs ties him for 18th all time with Willie McCovey and Ted Williams.
He was a member of the 2005 World Series champion White Sox, but an injury caused him to miss the playoffs.
Thomas will be eligible for the Hall of Fame for the first time this January and is likely to be elected on his first ballot.

I think he deserves it. Smart to pick that one up now.
Love the Big Hurt, even though he competed with Griffey for the AL MVP as well as the hearts and minds of young collectors like me. He deserves a first-ballot nomination.
Nice ball. If I had a vote, he'd have it. That guy was the man for so many years. Great career.
