The Big Hurt's First Pitch

Frank Thomas, who has slugged 448 homers in his 16-year career with the White Sox, tossed out Tuesday's ceremonial first pitch before Game 1 of the ALDS to Harold Baines, a Chicago coach who spent the bulk of his career playing for the organization.

Thomas, called The Big Hurt for the damage he has inflicted on opposing pitchers, was limited to 34 games this season before having to call it quits for the year on July 21 because of inflammation in his left foot.
