Dick Allen Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 HOFer. Only the 8th player ever and 3, ARod, Bonds and Sosa had some help. Thome has never been linked to the juice. An amazing accomplishment. Aaron, Ruth, Mays and Griffey the only others untainted to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Something that is also pretty amazing to me, Thome has never hit 3 homers in a game. Hopefully he does it tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Big Jim! Too bad that exclusive club has Arod, Bonds and Sosa there to taint it. Mike and Mike will talk about it tomorrow, and of course it will be all about Mark Schlereth's son giving it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they'll get back to Mark Sanchez, Notre Dame football and breaking down the Jacksonville receiving corps. If you're a baseball fan, Mike and Mike are a channel changer. They hate baseball.

lostfan Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 This is a big deal... 600 had become the new 500 for a while because of all the cheaters, but Thome's not one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Man i wish we could of had him on that team last year.Hell even this year. To bad our manager thought Mark Kotsay and Andruw Jones were better options. Congrats Big Jim!Keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 One of the all-time prolific sluggers in the game's history. I'll even admit that I didn't fully appreciate him while he was with us. Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andruw was good in the OF to. But hey....I guess they would have all been better hitting options than Dunn at this point lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 A KW and Ozzie mistake and I said it when the Sox went withe no real DH and had let Thome walk. Wish they would have kept him on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't for that sillly manager we have, he would have hit it with us.

Soxfest Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) ESPN radio had following stat ..............Thome became the second-fastest hitter to reach the milestone, hitting his 600th homer in at-bat No. 8,137. Babe Ruth needed only 6,921 at-bats. Edited August 16, 2011 by Soxfest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
