Frank Thomas is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on May 27, 1968 in Columbus, United States. 5-time All- Star nicknamed “The Big Hurt,” he is most famous for his 16-year stint with the Chicago White Sox. He was named American League MVP in consecutive years in 1993 and 1994.

He became the first American League player to win consecutive MVP awards since Roger Maris did so in 1960 and 1961.

In the autumn of 1986, Thomas accepted a scholarship to play football at Auburn University. His love of baseball drew him to the school’s baseball team, where the coach immediately recognized his potential. “We loved him”, Auburn baseball coach Hal Baird told Sports Illustrated. “He was fun to be around—always smiling, always bright-eyed.” He was also a deadly hitter, posting a .359 batting average and leading the Tigers in runs batted in as a freshman. During the summer of 1987 he played for the U.S. Pan American Team, earning a spot on the final roster that would compete in the Pan American Games. The Games coincided with the beginning of football practice back at Auburn, so he left the Pan Am team and returned to college—only to be injured twice in early season football games. In the summer of 1988, Thomas played for the Orleans Cardinals of the Cape Cod Baseball League. Highlights included a 3-homer game in Wareham, as well as a home run over the 434′ sign in center field at Eldredge Park in Orleans. In 2000, Thomas was named a member of the inaugural class of the Cape Cod Baseball League Hall of Fame.

Thomas was born and raised in Columbus, Georgia, and attended Columbus High School, where he was a standout in both football and baseball. As a sophomore, he hit cleanup for the baseball team, which won a state championship. As a senior, he not only hit .440, but also was named an All-State tight end in football, and played forward with the basketball team. He wanted desperately to win a contract to play professional baseball, but was not selected in the 1986 amateur draft.

He was married to Elise Silver from 1992 to 2001. He has children named Sloan, Sydney, Sterling and Frank.

Thomas became known for his menacing home run power; in the on-deck circle, he routinely swung a rusted piece of rebar that he reportedly found during a renovation project in Old Comiskey Park. In his first full season, Thomas established himself as a multi-talented hitter, combining power with hitting for average, drawing walks, and driving in runs. In 1991, Thomas finished third in MVP voting with a .318 batting average, 32 home runs and 109 runs batted in, as well as walking 138 times. He won the first of four Silver Slugger Awards, and led the league in on-base percentage, something he would accomplish four times during his career.
