    Post Frank Thomas, the former Pirates All-Star and original member of the Mets, dies at 93

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/ml...r-dies-93.html

    Former Major League outfielder Frank Thomas passed away Monday morning at 93 in his native Pittsburgh, where he once starred as a three-time All-Star for the hometown Pirates. A cause of death has not been released.

    While his best years came Pittsburgh, Thomas is also remembered as an original member of the New York Mets – a beloved-but-dreadful expansion team in 1962 that went on to lose a modern-day record of 120 games. Thomas hit a team-high 34 home runs that season for Hall of Fame manager Casey Stengel, while leading the club with 69 runs scored for the year.

    Despite suffering a fall in 2021 that limited his mobility, Thomas reunited with teammates at Citi Field in Queens last summer for Old Timers' Day.

    'I'm so thankful that my dad was able to go to Old Timers' Day,' Thomas' daughter, Maryanne Pacconi said, as quoted by MLB.com. 'It meant the world to him to see his old teammates. I was thrilled with how the fans greeted him. I was so happy to see him in uniform again. We will treasure those memories forever.'
