Frank Thomas to be honored at Plainsman Park. Finally, what a great he was to watch. I'm excited to see this!

Well deserved. Glad to see AU doing that. Still the best nickname in MLB history too.

Auburn has been trying to set this up for awhile, the delay has been on Frank Thomas' side.

My understanding is Thomas had a falling out with Auburn athletics (people) years ago, Butch has worked hard to rebuild that relationship and make this happen.

I was there to see him play football in one of his few appearances before he switched to baseball full-time.

One of my favorite AU athletes, class guy all the way around.
