		Thomas gave up the pigskin to concentrate on baseball after his freshman year and won the Southeastern Conference MVP in 1989.
		Thomas continued to inflict heavy damage on American League pitching staffs over the next three seasons as the White Sox were reduced to bridesmaids in the AL Central by the rise of the Cleveland Indians.
		Defense was hardly Thomas' strong suit, but the White Sox felt his presence on the field provided leadership to the young team and had long been willing to endure his shortcomings with a glove.

	Roy Thomas \| BaseballLibrary.com
		Thomas was the NL walk king at the turn of the century.
		His ability to foul off pitches endlessly in pursuit of a free pass led to the rule that fouls were strikes, but that change didn't prevent him from leading the NL in walks in seven of his first nine seasons.

		A player with a centile of 15 means that 15% of the players have a higher salary.
		A glut of players will be making the minimum and so it is unfair to represent some of these players within the range of 80 to 100 when they all earn the same.
		The true formula of the centile is to count the number of players with a posted salary during the season and divide by 100.

	Frank Thomas, HOF? - Baseball Fever
		Thomas has yet to find that late career adjustment, and its the late career adjustment which could add several respectable years to his playing time.
		Thomas was very durable at 1b for a long time, even if he never actually fielded the position very well; his durability allowed the White Sox to use the DH slot to allow other players to contribute, get a rest, etc.
		Thomas is similar -- he can play the field, he's just not very good at it, and they've got another 1b now, Konerko, that fields better (when he hits, anyway), so why not use the DH since you have it and get both bats in the lineup?
