Frank Thomas (The Original One)

[JollyElm]

Hey, can you transcribe this cool letter so we can easily read it? That would be great.

I’ll try to do it tomorrow when I have more time. I can’t read every word but here is the gist of the letter.

Thanks me for my donation to the charity
Describes the charity
Writes about other items he has available -IE 8x10’s of all the teams he played for.
Tells the story of being involved in the first back to back to back to back HR quad in history.

From google “Eddie Mathews, Hank Aaron, Joe Adcock, and Frank Thomas hit four consecutive homers in an inning off Reds' pitchers Jim Maloney (2) and Marshall Bridges (2), making the Braves the first major league team to accomplish the feat. The seventh inning big fly barrage, another blast by Mathews, and one by Warren Spahn aren't enough, when Cincinnati still manages to win the Crosley Field contest, 10-8.”

Then he talks about more 8x10’s available. Maybe related to this event.

Thanks me again etc.

That would be fine, where do I send the money?
