Retired White Sox great Frank Thomas will lend his nickname to Big Hurt Brew House, a planned microbrewery, sports bar, and grill at 6801 W Cermak Rd in Berwyn. The Berwyn City Council just approved the redevelopment, and Frank will operate the facility (serving Big Hurt Beer, of course). Pictured: development team Rick Heidner and Frank, Berwyn mayor Robert Lovero, Berwyn Development executive director Anthony Griffin, and city administrator Brian Pabst. To celebrate another athlete-backed endeavor, here are three fun facts about Frank:
He can catch passes in traffic: he played tight end at Auburn.
Visiting his microbrewery could make you an R&B star: he's founder of Will 2 Win Records.
He shared the screen with Tom Selleck's mustache in Mr. Baseball.
