That year, he hit a career-high 35 home runs, finishing second in the National League, and drove in 109 runs, both personal bests. His performance earned him a fourth-place finish in the NL MVP voting.This radio interview captures Thomas during his most productive season in the majors. By this point, he had established himself as a power-hitting outfielder and occasional infielder for the Pirates. Thomas's 1958 campaign was particularly notable as it came after several solid but unspectacular seasons, showcasing his development as a hitter and his importance to the Pirates lineup.
