Frank Thomas met Simone Biles at the airport and the photo proves that greatness comes in all sizes

By Adrian Garro

Frank Thomas. The Big Hurt. You know the guy -- the larger-than-life former slugger who now serves as an analyst on the FOX Sports broadcast crew. He's huge -- listed at 6-foot-5, he was one of the most formidable hitters in history, earning a first-ballot spot in the Hall of Fame for his efforts.
Simone Biles, gymnastics star who rose to fame at the 2015 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, stands at 4-foot-9. Can you imagine what it'd look like if they took a photo together? Well, wonder no more:

This chance encounter happened after the two shared a flight to Houston before Game 3 of the World Series on Friday. 
That's a lot of greatness in one photo!
