Always wondered why he was around the program much.



I wasn't told what the story was, just that Thomas was so upset about it that he wasn't even receptive to coming back and getting a statue

My understanding is that Thomas always rooted for Auburn sports teams/kids, just did not want to associate with our athletics department

It was fun to see Frank and Bo side by side with the White Sox.

Kid came up crying to his Dad about not being able to get Bo and Frank to sign autographs. The Father and son were about two rows down from e. I asked the Dad If I could talk to his son a minute. Craig came up ...told him to go to the outfield end of third base dugout and as loud as he could yell "War Eagle!" That got their attention.

Next we knew Craig comes up with a batting glove signed by each, then a bat, then a baseball. Kid was in seventh heaven.
