Jim Thome: Target Field's First Walk-Off Homerun

[minnbeef]

Ouch, is she being murdered?

[DCarr30]

Stop Screaming... And make a Ham Sandwhich

[myjahleesa]

@DCarr30 Let me guess--you're unemployed with no girlfriend/boyfriend? KNEW IT!

[Duluth06ChE]

There's nothing cooler than being at a baseball game and having the entire crowd will a player to hit a bomb!

[logman92]

Was there a screaming chimp at that game?

[richig761]

Did the Twins win, or did someone sneak up and rape you from behind during the home run?

[Defenestrati2700]

Thome threw his helmet so high when he got to home.

[poro0903]

ha gotta love the typical baseball fans at 0:32 trying to call what's gonna happen next! i love doing that too

[myjahleesa]

@therussellsprouts What's even more pathetic is fans like you who think fans aren't supposed to make noise at a baseball game, or alternatively, people like you who can't read and understand explanatory captions. But I hope you're happy being a moron.

[jtmckeownify]

At least someone can hit a homer at Target Field. Jose Bautista has more home runs there than Morneau and Mauer combined, despite having less than 30 plate appearances. Mauer and Morneau have about 530 collectively at the time of this comment. Sad.

Twins made a huge mistake locking down a power hitting catcher who has all his power to the opposite field, and then making that part of the field the deepest.

I would be pissed if I were Mauer. Doubt he'll make it to the HOF playing there.

[TylerReurink]

damn that bitch is freaking out

[myjahleesa]

@TylerReurink Hell yeah! Did you SEE that? Matt Thornton's face?

[Classic1942]

WAHHHHHH WOOOOOOOO WOOW WHAAAH WHAAAA AAAWAAA WAAAAAA WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *BANG* absolute silence

[futafanyow]

ug its not the fact that you were holding the camera close to your face you can clearly hear the ppl around you that are getting excited in a normal manner. This happens in every sport theres always some person who has to be an attention whore " look at me im at a game and they hit a home run AAAAH AAAAAAAAAAAAAH AAAAAAAAAAAAah AAAAAAAAH" at the highest pitch possible. Im going to the game tonight i would be willing to bet there will be a screaming bitch 10 seats away from me too.

[myjahleesa]

@futafanyow Right. I was being attention whore. That's why everyone in this video is paying so much attention to me. And obviously you can hear everyone equally through the awesome microphone on my digital camera! No one else was more than normally excited after witnessing the greatest moment of the Twins 2010 season. Wow, thanks for enlightening me on something you clearly know more about.... Delusional much?

[futafanyow]

@myjahleesa lol i was at the game last night and lo and behold about 2 rows away there was some screaming bitch who couldnt just cheer normally but instead chose to scream in the key of high c in intervals of abot 10 seconds WAAAAAH ...AAAAAAAAAAAAHH........WOOOO­OOOOOOOOO....AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...............­..............................­........AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH­WWWAHHHHHHWAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAh

[ovechkinrocks123]

[binder673]

Now lets just put this awesome drama action into the playoffs for once......this year we shall though!!!!

[compgameboy779]

I remember watching that game on tv. That was an awesome win. Go TWINS.

[EKAA25]

Is someone being raped?

[Classic1942]

@EKAA25 i laughed so hard at this comment bahahahha is someone being raped

[vrjustin82]

I was here. It was nearing the end of the game. I left my seat to use the restroom... but I came back to the concourse just in time to watch this. What a moment. "Thome Thome Thome", as everyone leaves the ballpark.

[krullsk]

omg i wanna go to target field so bad! lol i would of been flipin shit to if i was at that game

[schmitty3100]

your effin annoying

[myjahleesa]

@schmitty3100 YOU'RE annoying. Come back and talk when you've finally mastered 5th grade grammar.

[myjahleesa]

@schmitty3100 I AM a girl, you idiot.

[iFUCKINGp]

how do you call this melody before the homerun?

[nick789102]

that lady isnt cheering she is just screaming..lol

[dmerkl123]

i think we all knew he was gonna do that with how that game was going

[Grannyhauenstein]

Great video. I'm glad there is a MUTE button! I hope that lady didn't scream next to you like that the whole game. Oops, maybe she's your wife?

[myjahleesa]

@Grannyhauenstein No--that's ME. And as the notes say, it sounds so loud because I'm holding the camera. Everyone was screaming.

[Grannyhauenstein]

@myjahleesa

Oops again...sorry!

[bmarek10]

nice seats

[Soxogram]

This was the most heartbreaking home run I saw. I was in lying in the fetal position all night. The most depressing loss I ever felt as a White Sox fan.

[halodystroyer44]

kirby puckett (2 rings) vs jim thome (0). :(

[Rachelizabeth47]

Time to re-sign him, he's gotta stay in the Twinstripes!

[theanimal160]

I love how Thornton starts walking off the field the second the ball made contact with the bat.

[ConFounDz]

Lol right before that pitch: "It's either 2 run homer or double play"

[idaman12345]

@ConFounDz i thought after the first pitch "hes not gonna see another one like that one"

[ophiruchus]

I was this game! That place was chaos once the bat and ball made contact

[idaman12345]

@ophiruchus that makes two of us, that was probably the second loudest game i was ever at (game 163 last year being the loudest)

[SwanMan21]

The lady talking kind of sounds like Betty White, haha.

[hinjon]

This game was part of my season ticket package, but I was in Boston when it happened, so I didn't get to go. So pissed.

[takingiteasy2day]

Congrats to Thome for being on the cover of SI!!!!

Class act, great player, one of the nicest guys in baseball.

GO TWINS

[miller4557]

sports illustrated

[cujbj1]

This video got a mention in this week's Sports Illustrated. Good article about Thome.

[SlayerFromBeneath]

Thome's a boss.

[thenerfdude20]

[hobozero]

@TheRealBetaband That's just the pure power of Jimmers. His homeruns cause orgasms.

[dwightfartschrute]

@srk4044 She's either being murdered or having one hell of an orgasm!

[Trevorlikescheese101]

jim thome is just the most down to earth guy, what a sweet man, lets get that ring he deserves minnesota!!

[pbmdh]

I'd say that the Twins are Thome's best chance at getting that ring he wants (and deserves). GO TWINS!

[Funan10]

1:28 rausch is like 'move outta my way....gotta git me a shaving cream pie'....lol

[thebeastlacey]

I'm the biggest White Sox fan there is..yet, if Jim Thome's the one hitting a walk off HR against the Sox, I'm perfectly fine with it. Thome is the classiest act that ever put a MLB uniform on..EVER! If the Sox don't win the division, I want Thome to get that ring he deserves!

[myjahleesa]

@thebeastlacey

I know--Thome is the best!

[pkappel006]

@thebeastlacey GO TWINS...........!

[carpetmucher9]

@thebeastlacey

i agree even when he was with the sox i loved him

[myjahleesa]

@thebeastlacey

And Kudos to the Sox this year--we all thought they were dead in th beginning there. It was pretty awesome they came back and almost took it!

[mooose09]

[PhantomNeo25]

I was at this game.... It was a perfect night weather wise and a perfect ending for a huge game for the twins

[MrMleigh56]

That was great! I was screaming on my couch at home just like she was...what a finish to this day! Thome had a Favre shirt on earlier, too.
