Frank Thomas’s 1995 Chicago White Sox Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

A Legendary Career

Frank Thomas, a towering figure in the annals of baseball, was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2014. Known for his prodigious power and remarkable consistency, Thomas was a two-time American League MVP and clinched the AL batting title in 1997. His illustrious career saw him retire with an impressive batting average above .300 and membership in the exclusive 500 home run club, cementing his legacy as one of the game’s greats.

The Jersey’s Unique Features

This exceptional jersey, worn by Thomas during the 1995 season, is a testament to his enduring impact on the game. The front left tail proudly displays a “RUSSELL ATHLETIC” size “50” manufacturer’s tag, complete with washing instructions. Attached is a flag tag reading “100% POLYESTER”, and adjacent is a strip tag inscribed with “THOMAS 50-95”. The left chest features the iconic “SOX” emblem, while Thomas’s player number “35” graces both the right chest and back, all crafted in striking black and grey tackle twill.

Commemorative Patches and Authenticity

Adding to the jersey’s allure are the commemorative patches adorning its sleeves. The right sleeve showcases a “Russell Athletic” logo beneath a “WHITE SOX 95 YEARS 1901-1995” patch, celebrating the team’s storied history. Meanwhile, the left sleeve bears a “COMISKEY PARK CHICAGO WHITE SOX” patch, paying homage to the legendary ballpark.
