White Sox Hall of Famer Frank Thomas has assumed a new role with the club as a special consultant for business operations.
Thomas previously had served as a Sox ambassador, but he stepped away when he began work on Fox Sports' broadcasts. He will work with both this year.
"I'm happy with the new role just because I'm happy to be back with the team," Thomas said after a SoxFest seminar Saturday at the Hilton Chicago. "I always want to be around this team. … So many memories, so many years."
Brooks Boyer, senior vice president for sales and marketing, said Thomas' new position will include work with the sales and marketing departments, including corporate hospitality and sales calls.
