PHOTO, Frank Thomas at bat

This photo was taken at Frank Thomas' first game in Chicago as a member of the Oakland A's. Thomas got a couple homeruns and the White Sox won in extra innings. Rob Mackowiak tied the score with a pinch-hit homerun in the ninth. It was an exciting game.

On Saturday, September 16, Thomas again hurt the Sox. He had four RBIs including the game winner when Mike MacDougal walked Thomas in seventh with the bases loaded to break a 4-4 tie. The Sox had led 4-1.

The Sox are now five games behind Detroit and three games behind Minnesota.

White+Sox, Frank+Thomas, playoffs
