THOME CELEBRATES KILLEBREW

This season the HBWHOF has a lot of career watches going on: Derek Jeter sits at 2,977 career hits - 23 away from 3,000...Tim Wakefield sits at 195 career wins - 5 away from 200...Jim Thome sits at 593 home runs - 7 away from 600(And they're CLEAN homers too!)...
So, right now, I'm impressed with all things Thome!
Big Jimbo paid a fine tribute to the late, great Twins' slugger Harmon Killebrew at Target Field a few days ago.
The televised ceremony featured a video of Killebrew’s 520-foot home run at the old ballpark - The Met. The cameras then zoomed out to a bleacher seat in Target Field 520 feet from home plate...and there sat Jim Thome holding at 1962 Killebrew game-worn jersey...



A class act that Jim Thome...
