Couldn't be happier for Thome. Every time you hear people talk about him, they always describe him as being the nicest guy in the game, all around good guy.
Joe Nathan just said Thome is the nicest guy on the planet.
Also, local sportscaster here just said there might be a contender this September that is looking to pick up a slugger for the playoffs. Hmmm. If so the Twins should release him for more young pitching talent. Love the guy but I do not entirely embrace the single DH guy thing.
