    Frank Thomas; The BIG HURT
    2025/10/01
    Frank Thomas looked more like an NFL Tight=End, looking to create space in the end zone to receive a touchdown, than he did a baseball player. But in many ways, the 6'5" 275 pound icon was ostensibly a contact hitter trapped inside of a slugger's body, with a judicious knowledge of the strike zone and quick hand-eye coordination. He was a dog on the hunt, looking to inflict pain on opposing teams, thus earning the well deserved moniker; The Big Hurt. Even in the context of playing in one of the greatest offensive eras in the game's history, Frank's raw production is staggering, From 1991 to 1997, he strung together seven consecutive seasons with 20 home runs. 100 or more walks, 100 or more RBI and a .300 average, No player before or since has equalled the feat. He is the all-time White Sox leader in home runs, doubles, walks, OBP and SLUG. Thomas would achieve these benchmarks through hard work, persistence, and never taking anything for granted. This week we do a deep archaeological dig into the baseball path laid down by the man. #FrankThomas #TheBigHurt #ColumbusGeorgia #BobbyHoward #AuburnUniversity #HalBaird #PatDye #WaltHriniak #BoJackson #OaklandAthletics #TorontoBlueJays #JeffTorborg #PamelaThomas

    The Negro Leagues produced some of the finest third-basemens in the history of the sport of baseball. Guys like Jud Wilson, Oliver "The Ghost" Marcelle and Ray Dandridge held down the Hot Corner. inspiring and challenging future generations to meet their standards. But many of the league historians consider Judy Johnson the finest of them all. He was Baryshnikov in cleats with his flawless footwork and stellar glove at third. At 5'10'. 150 pounds soaking wet, Johnson dominated the game with his solid defensive fundamentals, incredible base-running instincts, and a line-drive bat designed to find gaps in the outfield for extra bases. While Satchel Paige's game was a flamboyant display of athletic genius, Judy's was one of quiet exuberance and steely focus. While Josh Gibson game revolved around his sheer belligerent power, Johnson thrilled spectators with his finesse. While Cool Papa Bell was blessed with blazing speed, Johnson had intelligence and instincts. This week we do an archeological dig into the legends career that begins in Wilmington. Delaware and ends in the pantheon of immortals in Cooperstown. New York. #WilliamJuliusJudyJohnson #SnowHillMaryland #WilmingtonDeleware #EdBolden #HilldaleDaisies #HomesteadGrays #PittsburghCrawfords #PopLloyd #BrodieFrancis #JoshGibson #CumPosey #GusGreenlee #KansasCityMonarchs #ConnieMack #LeoDurocher #AnitaIrons

  • Reggie Jackson; Mr October

    Reggie Jackson; Mr October
    2025/09/02
    At the height of his powers, Reggie Jackson was a box-office spectacle, who's on-field exploits were matched by his larger than life personality, and his fearless ability to speak his truth to power. Whether you watched him strikeout, a record setting 2,597 times, or watched him hit one of his 563 home runs, fans and haters alike, couldn't take their eyes off of him, as he was surely one player worth the price of admission. His complex profile study, is but an evolutionary link in the chain of black baseball players that have performed on the Major League level. Unlike many of the black players that came before him, who kept their heads down and played the game with a quiet grace, Reggie was outspoken, brazen and arrogant. He played with a chip on his shoulder, and he is one of the few professional athletes who could produce at a high level, while playing angry. #ReginaldMartinezJackson #MartinezJackson #MrOctober #OaklandAthletics #CharlesOFinley #RollieFingers #SalBando #JoeRudi #BaltimoreOrioles #NewYorkYankees #GeorgeSteinbrenner #BillyMartin #ThurmanMunson #CaliforniaAngels #JohnMcNamera #ReggieBar
