Jim Thome hit his 600th homerun yesterday. It couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. I have heard some people question his chances of getting into the hall of fame. These people are idiots. Of course most sports writers and sports pundits are. If Thome was a Yankee or a Brave there wouldn’t even be a question of his getting in. They would be falling all over themselves praising him. We will have to wait at least 5 years to find out, but my guess he will get in on the first ballot. I know most baseball records in the last few years have come under scrutiny because of steroids, but Thome has never been mentioned. Nice guys do finish first sometimes.
