Hawk Harrelson gave Frank Thomas the nickname — “The Big Hurt” — that helped make him a household name, and that was one of memories foremost on Thomas’ mind as he prepared to share a booth with the White Sox broadcast legend on Sunday.
“I've been in with him a couple of times, a few innings, stuff like that, but never a whole game,” Thomas said.
