As someone pointed out earlier in this thread, Thomas was always huge. As a two sport athlete at Auburn, the guy was part of an intense workout regimen, and IMO, has maintained that physique fairly consistently since he emerged into the Bigs. Take a look at the guy's rookie card from the 1990 Topps set. It shows him playing 1B at Auburn. I honestly don't think you could tell much of a difference in the guy's size between then and now, something that steroids would make virtually impossible. 1st Ballot HOFer in my mind.
