Yes, Frank Thomas is Jewish. He married a Jewish woman that is from New
York. When they married, Frank converted. I have read this in numerous
articles regarding Frank Thomas. And when I met Frank Thomas while out
and about in Chicago, I noticed that he does wear a necklace with the Star
of David on it.

Half right. His wife is Jewish. He is not. I read it in Sports
Illustrated.

Which doesn't make him Jewish.

I think you're thinking of Rod Carew. He did convert.

Frank is Jewish...he converted in 1993 to Judaism. Besides if he wasn't
Jewish, why would he be wearing a Star of David?

OK, if he is, he is.

The bigger question is, when is he going to start hitting again?
Including the spring, he has no home runs in 1997. Hard to believe.
There is a (teeny-tiny) silver lining though - it's serving to blow
the "protection theory" nonsense out of the water.

The other question is, how did the Tribune get the story so completely
wrong about his supposed contract extension being "imminent"? Frank's
response was "I wish it were true". (I wish it were, too.) What
kind of idiots do they have working up there in the Tower these days,
anyway?
