500 for the Big Hurt

I did fail to note Sammy Sosa's 600th home run, but Frank Thomas hit his 500th homer today in Minnesota in the first inning off of Carlos Silva.

Good for him, i really doubt he'll be a 1st ballot hall of famer though.

Interestingly, its being mentioned that he hit his very first homer in the same building ...

1Seriously? Despite a .238 this year, and not having hit .300 in a season since 2000, his career average is still .303.

He has a .985 OPS over 18 seasons, and only twice has had an OBP below .360, both in injury-shortened seasons (his career mark is .423).

Twice MVP and once runner-up, all in the pre-steroid-tainted era.

I firmly believe that without injury troubles, Thomas would've been the second best hitter of his generation (behind an injury-free Ken Griffey Jr.) and would've easily surpassed 600 home runs.
