ステロイドを使わなかった事は威張れる事ではないが、特に1990年代の記録は、プーホルスの成績に相当すると、記事にも書いている。

For most of the 1990s Thomas was a precusor to Albert Pujols, a slugger who hit for high average and didn't strike out much.

Frank Thomas can be proud of his 19-year career and let sleep come easily at night. The White Sox will retire his number 35 (joining the Padres' Randy Jones and the Braves' Phil Niekro as the only retired 35s) and someday erect a statue of him at U.S. Cellular Field. And when fans see his likeness they will be able to say, "That's the best player in the history of the White Sox." That alone is a fabulous legacy. That Thomas also spoke up for a clean game also is worth remembering.
35番は永久欠番になり、将来は球場に像も建てる。
