US EditionPaul Sullivan: White Sox Drop the Ball in Latest Snub of Frank Thomas — and the Divorce Might Be Permanent
Frank Thomas criticized the Chicago White Sox for excluding him from their Black History Month timeline despite his franchise records and 16 seasons with the team.
- On February 1, 2026, Frank Thomas responded to the White Sox’s Black History Month graphic with `I Guess the black player who made you rich over there and holds all your records is forgettable!` on X, which went viral.
- Frank Thomas’s place in franchise history is central because he spent 16 seasons with the White Sox, won back-to-back AL MVPs, and holds records including 448 home runs and 3,949 total bases.
- Notably, the graphic also included Ken Williams, former White Sox general manager, and Jerry Manuel, former White Sox manager, but left out Jermaine Dye, Tommie Agee, Tim Anderson, and Thomas.
- Fans quickly rallied after Thomas’s post, with over 2,000 likes compared to the team’s 264, while the White Sox declined public comment though a spokesman reached out.
- The contrast with other teams matters because Thomas’s separation from the organization since 2024 risks a deeper split, especially with spring training starting next week, and observers blame Brooks Boyer for the oversight.
