The Final Hurt

Regardless of whether you're a Cubs, Sox, or Cardinals fan, I think we can all agree that two-time MVP Frank Thomas deserved a better send off from the White Sox.

According to the Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune:

Frank Thomas' storied 16-year career with the White Sox officially will come to an end Wednesday night, but Thomas had sensed his days were numbered last month.

"That door is closed," Thomas said Tuesday morning as he left the Wyndham Anatole, headquarters for baseball's winter meetings. "[The White Sox] did what they had to do. I have much respect and love for the city and the fans, but I would have wanted my chapter to end a little bit differently than the way it ended. I think I deserve that. I was forced to move on."
