| - Frank Edward Thomas (born May 27, 1968 in Columbus, Georgia) is an American Major League Baseball player, who is currently a free agent, nicknamed "The Big Hurt" or "Frankie T.". Frank Thomas became one of baseball's biggest stars in the 1990s, playing for the Chicago White Sox. He was given the nickname "The Big Hurt" by broadcaster Ken "Hawk" Harrelson. Thomas is one of several notable baseball players who played college baseball at Auburn University, most notably Bo Jackson, who was a teammate of Thomas in both college and the major leagues. He also played tight end for the school's football team. Thomas played first base during the early part of his career and was not known for his defense. He never won a Gold Glove at the position, and has played primarily as a designated hitter since turning 30 years old. Rather, Thomas is known for his offensive performance; some regard him as one of the best pure hitters in baseball's history. "The Big Hurt" is the only player in major league history to have seven consecutive seasons of a .300 average, and at least 100 walks, 100 runs, 100 runs batted in, and 20 home runs (from 1991 to 1997). The only other player to have more than five consecutive seasons accomplishing this feat was Ted Williams with six. This accomplishment is even more remarkable considering that despite playing only 113 games in 1994, due to the labor stoppage which curtailed that season prematurely, he still was able to attain these lofty numbers, thereby keeping the streak alive.
