I love Jim Thome. It was hard to not have tons of respect for during his years in Cleveland and then when he swung through Minnesota for two historic seasons as he kept bombing home runs was super fun!
Yesterday, one of baseball's good guys go the call that every player dreams of, the call from the Hall of Fame. The Chicago White Sox were rolling tape and captured this special moment when Thome, joined by his family got the call from the Hall.
Check out the video below...
And just for good measure, I present to you what might be the greatest GIF of all time. Check out the swing, the holding of the follow through, the stare and then the best part is Delmon Young's reaction in the background!
