You Can Put it on The Board! - Yes-s!!! ...

Frank ''Big Hurt'' Thomas hit 'em long & hit 'em far and if he had hit all of his home runs with the Chicago White Sox, Ken ''Hawk'' Harrelson could have said, ''you can put it on the board! - yes!!!'' 521 times. The Big Hurt hit 521 home runs & drove in 1704 runs. He had a lifetime .301 BA, .419 OBP, .554 SLG, and 1494 RS. In 1994, Thomas had a .494 OBP & .729 SLG. He is one of only 9 players to hit over 500 home runs with a .300 lifetime batting average & is 4th all time with 121 sacrifice flies.
Frank Edward Thomas, 6' 5'' 275 lbs., is a two time MVP and has four Silver Slugger awards & a batting title to his credit. He led the league in walks four times; a credit to his batting eye & his plate discipline.
The Big Hurt has a bronze statue at U.S. Cellular Field & his # 35 jersey has been retired by the White Sox.
Ken Harrelson never had to say, ''stretch ... stretch'' with this HOF ballplayer. Instead it was his pleasure to call out: ''You can put it on the board! Yes!!!
Until next time, so long everybody ...

Jim, these former White Sox player bios are excellent.
Keep ’em coming, please.

I'm turned on by the "yes-s!!!"
because I’m unsure how to say it the way it is typed.

19 fanposts in 2 weeks for this guy over at baseball nation.
he’s a juggernaut. watch out yellon, you’re not the only one that can churn out pointless drivel on a daily basis.

I was sure he was 13 years old
before I looked at his information. Holy Christ.
We're all here because we're not all there.
He seems to do little more than copy+paste little articles from SBN BN.
"Many people need desperately to receive this message: 'I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.'"
but he gets 6 recs on his Fanpost
My last story received 7 recs. NO MOAR STORIES

I only rec'd the little-seen second version, since it was more obscure.

I don't know what you're all talking about
this post is exactly what the end of the offseason needed.
I'm still waiting for someone to tell me how to say "yes-s!!!!"

Nice timestamp.
Looks like you should take your own advice.
We're all here because we're not all there.
It does look like something
I would’ve written when I was 10 or 11, assuming I new what OBP and SLG were. Yay Big Hurt
