This 4 time All Star, Silver Slugger Award winner and Roberto Clemente Award recipient is one of the best examples of what’s great about baseball, at all levels. It’s team members like Thome that make the World Champion Chicago White Sox the best team in MLB, not just for his talent and ability but for his character and integrity. He is one of the best examples in MLB. Makes me proud to be a World Champion Chicago White Sox fan and fellow son of Illinois.
Oh, Thome grew up a Cub Fan... This is a guy CHICAGO should embrace!!!!

“The strongest thing I put into my body is steak and eggs. I just eat. I'm not a supplement guy. Steroids are not even a thought.” ~ Jim Thome
“When I leave the game of baseball someday, I want people to recognize that I always put my teams first,” ~ Jim Thome
