Our hometown guy is now tied for 15th on all time list with Jimmy Foxx. He's just two away from Mickey Mantle. WOW! What a story! Make room in the Hall for Jimmy. Good for him!

Good for JT...but Rafael Palmeiro already has 569 home runs, and I doubt anyone
will make room for Raffy in the HOF....
(McGwire has 583 and Sosa 609, and they're still question marks as well...)

Unlike Palmeiro, McGwire and Sosa, JT has done it the clean way with out the aid of juice. Did I just say that?

sadly, since the evidence needed for indisputable proof is almost always lacking,
then all the power hitters from today will be "painted with the same brush" that hints they may have used at some time in their careers.

Your right! And it is sad, as because of the young kids that look up to players and want to be just like them. Very bad example and leadership. Its all about money and the people who run MLB should answer for allowing it to get to this point. They have Bonds but they aren't going to let him hang. I don't think I have ever hear JT name associated with these players and the juice thing. I would hope I never will.

I think Thome is just "country" strong. All of his bros. were horses as well.

I like Thome...He has done a lot for the community and is a genuine nice guy... but he was a bit on the scrawny side when he was in class a ball in the Cleveland organization....

Not a sox fan but am very proud of what JT has accomplished and really like his old school approach to the game!
