Today he passed Jeff Bagwell for 30th on the All-Time HR list.

 

Next up Carl Yastrzemski with 452.

 

Congrats Jim!

Awesome, congrats to Jim.

Congrats! By the way, when he passes Yaz, u can count on a long story about how great Yaz was from Hawk.

I hope he hits 6 to 8 in this series. Those tools in Cleveland didn't deserve Thome for all those years. When he left Cleveland, he left the town completely devoid of class.

yay Jim

50 more to go for the HOF.

Way to go Jim!

Big Jim!

Congratulations, Mr. Thome!

Keep booing him Cleveland fans, they don't call your hellhole of a town the "mistake by the lake" for nothing. 20 down, 30 to go for the season, although hey maybe he'll hit more than 50.

And pretty soon on the list...Frank Thomas.

that's enough boys.

I think he'll have more than Palmiero, without the Viagra or something.

The field ahead of Thome. How high can you see him going?

Would love for him to surpass Palmeiro's sorry ass.

I say that Big Jim ends up around the McCovey, Foxx, Mantle area. Thats some very, very impressive company. What a great career Thome has had, hopefully he can finish it here on the south side.

The guy is just a monster.

 

Definitely impressive. But what is more impressive than Jimmy's 20 bombs is that our 3, 4 and 5 hitter make up 3 of the top 8 on that list.

 

That is what they call "mashing"!

Congrats! By the way, when he passes Yaz, u can count on a long story about how great Yaz was from Hawk.

 

Congrats Jim Thome!

And I'm glad Hawk will talk about Yaz. I love Hawk's stories. It's what

makes him the best play by play man in the game.

It's a beautiful thing.

 

The 2nd HR he hit was a total bomb to pretty much dead center.

I wholeheartedly agree.

Only 8 of his 20 have been solos. That's pretty impressive.
