THOME Hit #600

[rdeversole]

Thome just hit #599 and 600 in the game tonight! Pretty cool stuff. Looks like the Twins bullpen caught the HR so he'll have a nice ball to keep.

Good for him. Thome is one of the nicest players in baseball.

No steroids, just determination.

Great for him....another guy from my hometown playing baseball the right way. That's part of the reason I respect him and Joe Girardi (also from Peoria) so much. Way to go, Jim!

Very happy for Thome. He's been really nice every time I've met him. Seems like a genuinely great guy.

Now, let's see some gear in tribute to the achievement...

I'm glad to see that Thome won't be held up for the ball by any fans/ballhawks/investors.

Not to ruin the moment, but I don't think we can assume anyone from the Steroid Era has done things "the right way." Steroids were rampant, and from what I've heard, over half of ballplayers used them. I don't know how Thome's not being caught equates to his playing the game clean. JMO.

But, you also can't assume that he did use because of it either. Unless there is some evidence out there that he did. We can't put an astericks(I hope I spelled that right) next to everything in this era. Yes, there are some that used, but there are also some that did not.
