A chance meeting at an airport brought together two legendary figures from completely different sports. Simone Biles, the staunch gymnastics queen, and Frank Thomas, the towering MLB legend affectionately known as “the Big Hurt”. Frank Thomas, a true baseball legend, dominated the MLB for nearly two decades. Thomas, a five-time All-Star, accomplished something no other player in history has done. Despite battling injuries throughout his career, Thomas left an indelible mark on the game.

While Simone Biles stands tall in gymnastics, her physical stature of 4 feet 8 inches seems insignificant compared to Frank Thomas’ towering presence of 6 feet 4 inches. As the two icons stood side by side, an incredible contrast emerged, leaving fans speechless.
