There were many great speeches at the Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Sunday, but the one most likely to bring you to tears is Frank Thomas’, who broke down while thanking his family, including his late father.
“We didn’t have much but my parents worked tirelessly for me and my four siblings. Frank Sr., I know you’re watching. Without you, I know 100 percent I wouldn’t be here in Cooperstown today. You always preached to me, ‘You can be someone special if you really work at it.’ I took that to heart, Pop. Look at us today.”
