Chicago: Frank Thomas versus Sammy Sosa - Who Was Better?
by Jerod Morris
Frank Thomas a
nd Sammy Sosa are two of the greatest icons in the long and storied history of Chicago sports. I do not remember what inspired me, but I have been obsessed over the past three days with objectively figuring out who had the better career. I finished my in-depth analysis of The Big Hurt and Slammin’ Sammy today and posted it over at HubPages. (It’s a lot easier to utilize pictures and videos with their format. Plus, hopefully the article can attract an audience and then get people to see our site.)
Here is the link: Frank Thomas Versus Sammy Sosa - Who Was Better?
Check it out when you get a moment. I apologize in advance for the length, but I did not want to leave any stone unturned. I will not give away the conclusion here…but if you do not feel like reading my 4,000-and-some word opus on the subject, just scroll to the bottom and you can read my conclusion. 
I always hated Sammy Sosa, especially once it became clear that he was a steroid-abusing cheater, but his talent and ridiculous numbers cannot be ignored. And while Big Frank pissed me off from time to time, especially with how he acted during the end of his tenure in Chicago, he will always be one of my all-time favorite players. There was nothing better than Frank smashing a 1st inning homerun or killing a line drive off the wall for a double. He may have been a little bit of a whiny baby…be he’s still the Big Hurt and the greatest White Sox player of all-time in my estimation (until 10 years from now when the torch gets passed to Carlos Quentin…he hit #34 today!!!).
Feel free to read the article and then come back to post comments and have a debate. There are few debates for true Chicago sports fans with the ability to inspire the passion and enjoyment of this one.
So who do you think was better - Frank Thomas or Sammy Sosa?
