This Thome stuff is exhausting!!!.......

Re: This Thome stuff is exhausting!!!.......

I know something like this should go under the "Items wanted" posts, but there is a bit of a story to go along with this...

I have been going to every single game (alone, mind you, because my wife thinks I'm a nut) just to try to get to the lucky fan that may catch Thome's first home run as a Dodger.

I really don't care that it's the first......I just want an authentic Jim Thome home run ball. It's a major void in my home run ball collection.

I wish you luck on your pursuit. I too am a fan of Thome, but I don't own any of his game-used stuff.

Being a Thome fan myself, I scratch my head still at this move. A great hitter he is - but to stick him on the pine thru Sept and a week of Oct for what, one AB 'maybe' a game to be lifted by for pinch runner just makes no sense at all........


What would have made sense would have been a trade to another AL contender so he could DH, get his 4 AB's in and be more productive. You'll be spending ALOT of $$ at Dodger games that is for sure.................

Can anyone here that might have one help put me out of my misery and sell it to me? It has to have great provenance, but I'll pay you for it. The only prerequisite is that it has to be easily identifiable as real, based on what you have that comes with it (pictures, witnesses, etc.).

If I am lucky enough to get to the fan who catches his first one, assuming there will BE a first one since he is only getting one at bat a game (if he even has an appearance), or unbelieveably lucky enough to catch it myself, I'll post pics.

Well, I'm off to the Dodger game. Maybe my awaits me tonight.



Don't hold your breath......I'm sure not.
