Summary
Frank Thomas, a former Chicago White Sox player, criticized the team for leaving him out of a Black History Month graphic.

Thomas responded on social media, pointing out his own achievements and taking issue with the omission.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Thomas, a legendary player, gets left out of the celebration. The White Sox point to other Black players who broke barriers, but Thomas, the one who actually held the records, gets ignored. The graphic is a reminder of the team’s history, but Thomas’s response is a harsh critique of the organization’s priorities.
The result wasn’t surprising by the end.
This is what happens when you forget about the ones who made you rich. The White Sox got a taste of their own medicine, and Thomas is taking receipts.
It’s a reminder that even in the celebration of Black History Month, some players are still left behind.
This one felt recognizable early.
