ding, ding, ding, correct #1

Frank Thomas had 521 homers and a .419 OBP. An interesting story about FT: The team from my son's future high school (long before my son was of that age) played FT's team for the state championship. FT came up to bat two runs down with two outs and the bases loaded in the last inning. They chose to intentionally walk FT (with the bases loaded) and then got the next guy out to win the state title.
