Frank Thomas to Pitch New Beer at Durbin's
'The Big Hurt' will be at the Frankfort location of the area pizza chain Saturday as part of a promotional tour for his new brew.
Frank Thomas built a reputation in Chicago as home-run hitter. Now it looks like the former White Sox slugger is intent on creating a new name as a brewmaster.
Thomas will be visiting locations around the south suburbs this week to tout his new venture, Big Hurt Beer, according to the area pizza chain's website. And one of his stops will include the Frankfort location.
His tour schedule is as follows:
