On Friday, Fox News noted that former Major League Baseball player Frank Thomas passed away. Except… it wasn’t the Frank Thomas that you probably know.
Earlier this January, former three-time MLB All-Star Frank Thomas passed away. An outfielder, Thomas played for the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1951-1958, with whom he made those ALl-Star appearances.
But Thomas was misidentified during an ‘In Memoriam’ segment that the network ran on Friday morning. The news station acted as if the former Chicago White Sox legend, Most Valuable Player award winner, and Baseball Hall of Famer was the one who died.
