White Sox all-time great Frank Thomas has been called out in a book on http://beklifenet.tv/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php?d=https://togelshiohk.com/ Jackson's MLB career, in which he was described as a 'selfish prick' and a ''d*****bag' by former teammates. <br> best seller, Jeff Perlman's latest book, 'The Last Folk Hero: The Life and Myth of Bo Jackson,' lauds the five-time all-star Thomas, calling him 'one of the best players in the game' but also 'an intimidating presence who moped with the best of them,' according to a snipped shared on from Jon Greenberg, of The Athletic. <br>Pearlman doesn't stop there, however. <br> <br /> Big Hurt catching strays in Jeff Pearlman' (image: ) White Sox legend, Frank Thomas, was lately described as a 'prick' in a new book on Bo Jackson <br>He also recounts the White Sox's eternal No. 35 (Thomas' jersey was retired in 2010) acting petulantly when he wouldn't be listed high-up Chicago's batting order, and that he would treat the clubhouse like 'garbage'. <br>'Thomas was one of the best players in the game, but a selfish prick of a teammate." Pearlman writes. 'At 6-foot-5 and 240 pounds, he was an intimidating presence who moped with the best of them. "Frank was a douchebag," said one Chicago standout.<br>"I judge people by how they treat those they don't need to be nice to. Frank treated the clubhouse guys like garbage."<br>'Just a baby,'' said Lance Johnson. 'That year the coaches decided they would hit Frank fifth to protect some guys in the lineup. He refused. Just said, straight up, he wouldn't hit fourth or fifth. I heard that and thought, "There goes our shot at the World Series." Because everyone would just pitch around him. Which they did.'<br>Thomas was drafted by the White Sox in 1990 as part of the 1989 draft and went on to play for the Windy City until 2005 before going to Oakland. <br>He and Jackson played together for two seasons (in 1991 and 1993) and Pearlman had recalled 'Bo' calling his former teammate, who was 25 at the time, 'the biggest enigma'. <br> (image: ) '''Bo was the best thing for Frank,''' said Doug Mansolino, Chicago's first base coach in the book<br> (image: ) In Perlman's book, ex-White Sox teammates said Thomas treated the clubhouse like 'garbage'<br> RELATED ARTICLES Share this article Share But at the time, Thomas had received his first nomination as an All-Star and was coming off another stellar, 100 RBI season.

Jackson, however, endured none of it,' Pearlman recalled. <br>'Both men had played football and baseball at Auburn (not together) and Jackson knew Thomas well enough to regularly say, with authority, ''Frank, seriously, shut the f**k up.'''<br>'''Bo was the best thing for Frank,''' said Doug Mansolino, Chicago's first base coach.<br>The White Sox went on to finish with a record 94-68 by the end of the 1993-1994 season, winning the AL West.
