And certainly iconic, you know, during his time.

With social media and everything that it can lead to, do you have regret after putting that out there sometimes after you post something like that?

In other words, was it that offensive because there's a whole month of Black History Month that the White Sox will be paying tribute to all of their African-American players, including Frank, numerous times?

Was this too quick of a reaction or...

You know, does he really have a case saying, you know, I should be first and foremost all the time when you mention African-Americans and the Chicago White Sox?

I would say, Marshall, that's right.

Because all the other stuff, you start saying negative things about Frank Thomas.

If you're a media person or anybody that talks about the White Sox, you're going nowhere with the White Sox fan base.

You can't say anything bad about Frank Thomas.

He was iconic.

He was everything that people always wanted.

We know the flaws like we all have.

You know, Frank has had them and emotions are a part of that.

But nonetheless, that's probably good advice.

Ozzie and Joey Cora, and Layla, you know this, and you guys probably do as well, but I think it's worth repeating.

Before every game when they all played together during batting practice, Ozzie and Joey would get on Frank and do everything to make him upset.

After BP.

And if you ask Ozzy about it, their method was, we want to get Frank fired up so that he gets three hits rather than two today.

This is our motivation.
