This was Frank’s first game/at bat in the Majors. I had met him the day before on a flight from Atlanta to Milwaukee. While on the flight I wanted to know if the Brewers were in town so I went up to first class to get a paper and saw him reading the sports section. I asked him if he knew if the Brewers were in town. He said “yes they are, I’m playing in the game tomorrow.” “It’s my first game, my name is Frank Thomas.” I had never heard of him, so I shook his hand and said good luck. He signed my magazine, and I went back to coach. Wow I met a future hall of famer 19 years ago and didn’t even know it. Notice Sammy Sosa on deck pre-steroid days!
