Jim Thome 600 Club

 

Last night Minnesota Twins DH Jim Thome got himself a spot in the 600 career Home Runs club, He hit it at Comerica Park, versus the Detroit Tigers, the pitcher was Daniel Schlereth.
It Took him 2456 games to get to that milestone.
Also Known as The Lumberjack because of the way he swings the bat, Jim Thome got to the Majors Playing 1st base for the Celveland Indians in 1991 and stayed there for 10 years, he has also played for the  Phillies, White Sox, LA Dodgers and his current team the Twins; I remember that group of great players on the Indians Roster: David Justice, Manny Rmirez, Roberto Alomar, Omar Vizquel, Juan Gonzalez, and Thome himself.
 

This guy has a very powerful long swing, which crushes anything that gets in the way, he started his career playing the 1st base, but the last couple of years he has occupied the DH spot on the Twins line-up.
With 2263 career hits, 600 HR and 1662 RBI, I am pretty sure that he is going to be in cooperstown.
There are only 8 players who have hit 600 Homers in their careers: Barry Bonds, Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Ken Griffey Jr, Alex Rodriguez, Sammy Sosa and now Thome.
