This pivotal moment marked the beginning of an illustrious career that saw him smash 521 home runs, securing his well-deserved place in the prestigious Baseball Hall of Fame. | Benjamin Watson | Facebook

⚾️On August 28, 1990 Chicago’s Frank Thomas hits the first of his eventual 521 career home runs when he goes deep off of Minnesota’s Gary Wayne. The White Sox would lose the contest to the Twins 12-6 at the Metrodome. Thomas would later hit his 500th career home run at the same ballpark, also against the Twins, only this time playing for the Toronto Blue Jays.⚾️ #TheBigHurt | Davenport Sports Network
